Black People showed up to the polls and yesterday and Johnson believes that, “they proved to Democrats what we’ve always said that Black folks matter. This was a historical election that was clearly affected and made happen by Black voters,” explained Johnson.

“It is very very important that we start organizing early. When we start organizing early even with limited resources, we can have a massive impact,” explained Senator Sanders.
