Our Revolution: What's Next on Bernie Sanders' Horizon

The next phase of Bernie Sanders’ political revolution starts now.

The Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. senator, who endorsed one-time rival and presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, told USA Today in an exclusive interview published Friday that he plans “to launch educational and political organizations within the next few weeks to keep his progressive movement alive.”

Additionally, according to the newspaper:

These efforts will be organized under the new Sanders Institute; the Our Revolution political group; and a third organization that USA Today writes, “may play a more direct role in campaign advertising.”

USA Today reports:

Former Sanders aide and deputy senior advisor to his campaign Shannon Jackson will head up Our Revolution.

Sanders told the paper: “If we are successful, what it will mean is that the progressive message and the issues that I campaigned on will be increasingly spread throughout this country. The goal here is to do what I think the Democratic establishment has not been very effective in doing. And that is at the grassroots level, encourage people to get involved, give them the tools they need to win, help them financially.”

Sanders’ statements are in keeping with a lengthy email he sent to supporters following Tuesday’s announcement, in which he declared:

Meanwhile, as Clare Foran reported Thursday for The Atlantic, “Sanders supporters are also actively working to carry on the revolution. Brand New Congress is one example.”

However, she said, “all this points to a central tension of the Sanders campaign. Sure, Bernie said it wasn’t about him. But for so many of his loyal followers, he has been the source of inspiration for political engagement. Sanders is poised to continue agitating for a revolution. But it remains to be seen how much the so-called revolution’s energy and enthusiasm can be sustained once the campaign has reached an end.”

St. Martin’s Press also announced Thursday that the democratic socialist is writing a book—Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In—to be published November 15, 2016, one week after the general election.
