Showing Original Post only (View all)'Not Done Yet': Bernie Sanders Campaign Mobilizes Donors for Coronavirus Relief and Raises [View all]
$2 Million
(snip)
The campaign mobilized staff and volunteers to text and call to raise money for five charities: Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry, Restaurant Workers Community Foundation COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund, One Fair Wage Emergency Fund, and the National Domestic Workers Alliance.
Robin Curran, the campaign's digital fundraising director, said in a statement that the money raised showed the importance of Sanders' "Not me, us" slogan.
"What we've seen in the last two days is the definition of 'fighting for someone you don't know,'" said Curran. "The people supporting this campaign have made more than 50,000 donations to help those most impacted by coronavirus because they understand that now more than ever it is important that we are in this together."
According to the campaign, there will be more efforts to raise money for the least fortunate affected by the crisis in the coming days.
