Thanks to the support of almost 500 people across Eastern Washington, North Idaho, and Western Montana, our voices were heard. Senator Bernie Sanders is officially making a stop in Missoula, Montana—just 3 hours from Spokane—to speak on the issues that matter most to working people in our region.

While Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won’t be joining him this time and Bernie isn’t stopping in Spokane yet, this is a huge first step. We proved that there’s real energy here in the Inland Northwest, and when we organize, we can make big things happen.

This victory belongs to all of us. Whether you signed, shared, or talked to your friends about it — thank you. Our work isn’t done, but today, we celebrate a major win for our communities.

Next stop: Missoula. Let’s keep building.
