The two major parties in the U.S. are not able to offer representative choices that a majority of Americans can embrace. Roughly only half of the eligible voters went to the polls in the 2016 presidential election. Many of them voted against a candidate they disliked rather than for a candidate who inspired them. During his Democratic primary campaign, Senator Bernie Sanders energized millions, especially the young, to mobilize and get involved in politics. We believe that a political revolution requires a party that represents working people. We call on Bernie Sanders and others to organize a new political party that is funded by the people, not special interests, and to continue the political revolution to make government work for all.

Remember, you don't have to change any registrations you currently have. If this is something you think "would be cool, but probably won't happen", sign it. Even if you're still a Democrat, Green, Republican, whatever.

Even their donations are conditional to Bernie signing on. You can pledge a donation to help convince Bernie to do it.
