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! That's over 1 million MORE calls than our original goal of 2 million calls in 48 hours!

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 to 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.

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!)
P.P.S. Edited to add that there are SO many volunteer teams I left out of what I wrote above and that I want to recognize as having also played a major role in this achievement. YUUUGE shout-outs to:
volunteer barnstorm hosts! who are helping grow this voter contact machine exponentially via phonebanks everywhere across this country
the data entry team! that processes all the barnstorm phonebank event sheets and gets them on the map
the barnstorm support team! that coaches new barnstorm hosts to grow phonebanks exponentially
the phonebank support (ESM) team! that calls every phonebank host to make sure hosts are prepared to host their events
the volunteer recruitment team! that recruits people to host or attend phonebanks
the email helpdesk team! which answers every email that comes into help@berniesanders.com and info@berniesanders.com, including many questions from volunteers and event hosts
the events management team! which reviews every event on map.berniesanders.com, and helps event hosts troubleshoot any problems
And to all the other amazing volunteers who are helping in innumerable ways to make this voter contact machine the BIGGEST EVER in American political history—THANK YOU.
