Iowa was decided by fewer than 10 people in some districts. If only a few more Bernie supporters had come out, Bernie would have won.

Bernie needs you in South Carolina!
South Carolinians! The mainstream media claims Bernie has no chance in your state because he “doesn’t connect with minorities.” Let’s prove them wrong by pledging to vote on February 27. A strong showing in your state can help prove that Bernie’s message resonates with all people of America!
Phone Bank for Bernie
Phonebanking is the single most important thing you can do for the campaign besides voting. Primaries are here, and we need to be calling people and letting them know about how to vote in their state. Don't be scared! I hear from many people that it's daunting to call strangers on the phone, but you will have a script to read and the typical call length is very short.
Start Phonebanking for Bernie!
Attend or host a local event
Phone Banking, Canvassing, Voter Registration Drives, Carpools -- these are just a few of the volunteer-hosted events popping up around the nation in support of Bernie Sanders, and some probably in your city!
If you can't find any events nearby, you should host your own — I've done it several times and it's been a great experience meeting local Bernie supporters!
