Bernie Sanders Coming Back to Boston

BOSTON, MA — Assuming we all survive the Nov. 8 election, a familiar face from the Democratic primary will be returning to the city shortly thereafter.

Bernie Sanders is back in Boston this November, bringing his "Our Revolution" book tour to Berklee. He's scheduled to appear Nov. 20 at the Berklee Performance Center.

Tickets for the event are $33, and come with a copy of Sanders' "Our Revolution."

Per the Berklee College of Music's site (which has all the event details here):

When Bernie Sanders began his race for the presidency, it was considered by the political establishment and the media to be a “fringe” campaign, something not to be taken seriously. After all, he was just an independent senator from a small state with little name recognition. His campaign had no money, no political organization, and it was taking on the entire Democratic Party establishment.

By the time Sanders’s campaign came to a close, however, it was clear that the pundits had gotten it wrong. Bernie had run one of the most consequential campaigns in the modern history of the country. He had received more than 13 million votes in primaries and caucuses throughout the country, won 22 states, and more than 1.4 million people had attended his public meetings. Most importantly, he showed that the American people were prepared to take on the greed and irresponsibility of corporate America and the 1 percent.
In Our Revolution, Sanders shares his personal experiences from the campaign trail, recounting the details of his historic primary fight and the people who made it possible. And for the millions looking to continue the political revolution, he outlines a progressive economic, environmental, racial, and social justice agenda that will create jobs, raise wages, protect the environment, and provide healthcare for all—and ultimately transform our country and our world for the better. For him, the political revolution has just started. The campaign may be over, but the struggle goes on.

Tickets go on sale Oct. 20 at 10 a.m.
