The AfterBerners

A People's Headquarters
for What Comes Next

The AfterBern is a People’s Headquarters for What Comes Next: Welcome to 2022, AfterBerners! 
Bernie Sanders has changed everything. Most now recognize that a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and a $15 minimum wage are not only essential, but overdue. Now, it's become clear that response to the radical right's packing of the Supreme Court may also be overdue. Do you demand a reasonable expansion of SCOTUS? In his many decades of fighting, his foresight on both climate and social safety nets would now seem prophetic if they hadn't been so obvious. And without publicly financed elections, the Robin Hood Tax, free public college, and prison reform, Bernie knows we won't have the resources a free people require to course correct while we still have time. Because Bernie Sanders has adopted the agenda we need, we need to make it our realty. Do you believe in the broader vision embodied in his stunning successes? Then, connect here to the many efforts of those nationwide who are determined to be more organized than the corporate class.

SO, WATCH THIS SPACE: We're currently building a network of supporting organizations helping us convert our ideas into reality!

Build a Better Biden

It's up to us, and now is THE moment we can best strategically shift Joe Biden's policies to reflect our needs, not a corporate class controlling candidates and political parties. How do we get Biden to take-up the torch of the Bernie agenda now?  Read more

Get Money Out.

It's time for Free and Fair Elections and recovery from addiction to corporate power & money in politics.  Until we have an open electoral process with only publicly financed campaigns, our elections are more like auctions and we're one nation under the influence.   Read More

Get Healthcare In. #MedicareForAll and the MaskerAiders...

The US response to the Covid-19 pandemic has exposed the worst failures in our society's healthcare infrastructure, and lack thereof. Enough is enough. This working group is heading to households with homemade protective Bernie masks, #MedicareForAll masks, and a full list of mutual aid needs neighborhoods may be able to provide for one another. And before the election, someone in this committee is not just going to #FightForSomeoneIDontKnow, but also #MeetSomeoneIDontKnow and #OrganizeSomeoneIDontKnow. Read more

End Corporate Rule.

Follow Bernie's lead.  He was the first senator to support simple amendment language that affirms corporations are not people, and that buying elections will be constitutionally banned. Read More

Run 1,000 for OurCongress

"Not Me Us” isn’t just a campaign slogan, it’s a method. We're building a Senate that supports our agenda, but democracy's on life support and needs some CPR: Convention for the Political Revolution aims to solidify what we know is the majority of Americans who support the same policies that AfterBerners have all along. Work in coalition with proven programs, like #OpenSourceCongress, the Sunrise Movement, #NationalIntervention, Justice Democrats... Read More

Climate Recovery & Transitional Fairness

From the Green New Deal to #ExtinctionRebellion, we pivot to a discussion of what it will take to sidestep a corporate media determined to create division when urgently we need humanity to unite.  This circle includes those ready to expand the reach of the traditional environmental messengers.  Can we cast a wide enough net to bring working people together, no matter what?... Read More
