Team: we hit our goal—and then some!
Today, Bernie volunteers made over 1.7 MILLION calls into New York, beating yesterday's incredible total of 1.3 million calls, for a weekend total of over 3 MILLION CALLS in our #TakeNYbyPhone weekend!
Thank you to every one of you who got over your fear of calling for the first time, or who put in an extra hour on the phones, to help us reach this incredible milestone! Thanks also to the AWESOME volunteer teams helping it all come together: our dialer monitors (the people clicking "dial" so that you get connected to voters!), Text for Bernie volunteers who sent thousands of reminder texts, and Livechat volunteers who helped so many first-time callers not give up! Thanks to all you awesome phonebank hosts out there who opened up your homes to other volunteers to help us Take NY by Phone! And finally, thanks for each of you who posted or tweeted about this weekend of action on social media, and helped us grow our base of active callers to include so many new volunteers! That's going to help us make our voter contact machine EVEN BIGGER and more effective for next time.
What all of you did this weekend is historic. And it is absolutely going to help move the needle on Tuesday. All of you should be proud.
BUT! No one should rest easy just yet. We're still down in the polls, and the final two days will be an intense battle for every vote. We'll need everyone to keep calling as much as they can as soon as calling opens up again tomorrow at 9 am ET. And a heads up that we'll be doing another BIG push for final Get-Out-The-Vote calls on Tuesday.
But for tonight, give yourselves a high-five. You just did something amazing.
It's an honor to be with all of you in this movement.
Claire
P.S. If you're so fired up from our incredible achievement this weekend that you want to keep calling, please do! Oregon and Guam need your calls! (And yes! That does mean that these numbers above are for New York ONLY!)

We made 1.3 Million Calls Saturday... And then trounced that today with 1.7 Million calls made...

Congratulations to all of you who helped and phonebanked!

1. I've heard from two people that received them.

One person told me that they told the caller that her and her husband are voting for Bernie just to get them off the phone without a discussion. The other said she is undecided. The caller asked if they could answer any questions. The person said no.

3. So you are saying they lied?

Sad but not surprising.

4. They're just trying to piss in the punch bowl.

Trying to tamp enthusiasm, nothing more.

7. I'm not sure of the point of his post...

I'm pretty sure 3 million calls in two days is a historic accomplishment in the political world especially from unpaid volunteers. The calls were mainly targetting for undecideds and Bernie supporters as GOTV calls. But sometimes Hilldawg supporters slipped in. If someone said they support Hillary I thanked them for their time and moved on, the campaign has other volunteers who specialize in persuasion calls.

17. I'm confirming that the calls were received.

And they two people I heard from were both undecided. In the first case, they just hustled the person off the phone.

16. Yes

People in NY are savvy enough to not get into an argument.

8. Well I heard from four people that received them.

All four told me that they were Hillary supporters who had switched to Bernie.

11. EXCELLENT! Time Will Tell... Let's Hope That TRUTH Will Win In The End... For Callers...

12. That is a metric ton of calls

Congrats on the hard work for Sanders supporters. That takes some impressive dedication. Hopefully no matter how the primary (both in New York and overall), they are able to find other races/causes that they want to fight for either for Sanders in the general if he wins, or for other candidates who speak to them.
