We are part of Bernie’s Iowa campaign team working to make sure he wins the Iowa caucus on February 1st. AUA.

Hi I work at a University and run student government elections every year. One popular way of reminding students to vote is to invite them to a Facebook event for the day of the election. Have you considered creating one FB event that is coordinated throughout the state as people canvas to have people join the FB event?

This will give you an easy way to communicate with everyone pledging to vote for Bernie, allow people to coordinate carpools and most importantly, a reminder directly to their phones/computer on the date of the caucus (very important for students who may otherwise forget).

As a student at another large university, I can confirm that Facebook groups significantly help.

Having everyone sign up for a Facebook group is probably a lot lower effort than an email list, also. Just for them to dip their toes in the pool.

Just to clarify, I'm talking about an event page for the date of the caucus (there is already an Iowa for Bernie page). However, you get automatic reminders for events that you subscribe to.

Happy you asked - we do in fact have a brand new caucus for Bernie in Iowa event page. RSVP and invite your Iowa friends at https://www.facebook.com/events/724659770969174/

What can we non-Iowans do to help?

Non-Iowans who are within driving distance (IL, MO, NE, SD, MN, WI, etc) can sign up to help knock on doors (direct contact is the best way to get folks to commit to turn out on caucus night); folks who aren't able to drive in can make phone calls into Iowa! Sign up for both at www.bernie.to/Help-Win-Iowa

What would you say to a person who needs convincing to vote for Bernie? What are his most appealing points for otherwise conservative voters?

Bernie has consistently received 71% of the vote in Vermont, which means he has relied on the support of Republicans, Independents, and Democrats alike. Additionally, whether you're a conservative or progressive, pretty much everyone agrees that we need to fix a political system that's held in place by a rigged economy and controlled by Wall Street and the billionaire class.

In 3 words: integrity, honesty, and accountability.

What is the best thing for us to do right now to support Bernie?

Volunteer to canvass/make phone calls, host/attend Bernie events, spread the word both on social media and as you're out and about grabbing a coffee, write letters to the editor/leave comments on news sites, and (if you can) add a few bucks to the campaign's 2 million contributions. Every dollar counts when you're up against the establishment.

I know precint captains important in Iowa. is there still time for me to become one?

Absolutely. Stop by or call your local field office (see the map on https://berniesanders.com/iowa) to connect with the organizer for your area - they'll train you and let you know exactly what you need to do. Thanks!

Hey guys, thanks for coming in! What kind of support are we getting from Democracy for America in Iowa? I've heard that their endorsement is a huge deal, but what exactly are we getting from it?

Democracy for America immediately jumped in (within 24 hours of endorsing us) during the DNC/NGP voter database lockout - their support and petition went a long way towards getting the situation resolved and getting the VAN turned back on in Iowa.

To quote DFA's Charles Chamberlain: "The Democratic National Committee's decision to attack the campaign that figured out the problem, rather than go after the vendor that made the mistake is profoundly damaging to the party's Democratic process. DNC leaders should immediately reverse this disturbing decision before the committee does even more to bring it's neutrality in the race for President into question."

If I want to drop in for 3-5 days in January from Wisconsin can I just...well, show up? I have a place to stay.

Definitely! Fill out your info at www.bernie.to/Help-Win-Iowa and an organizers will get in touch with you. For any students with J-terms, we are currently hiring paid, part-time fellows for the month of January - apply at www.bernie.to/Fellow-IA.

I don't live near Iowa but I wanna apply to that opening you have. Do you fly people out?

Here's the link for everyone: www.bernie.to/Fellow-IA (hiring part-time, paid organizing fellows starting January 2nd). We can provide supporter housing for you in Iowa as long as you can get yourself out here!

When is the Bernnnnn coming back to Iowa? Will he be here a lot in January?

He's making a swing through western Iowa Mon-Wed next week: Sioux City (www.bernie.to/RSVP-SiouxCityIA), Storm Lake (www.bernie.to/RSVP-StormLakeIA), Harlan (www.bernie.to/RSVP-Harlan), Council Bluffs (www.bernie.to/RSVP-CouncilBluffsIA), and Red Oak (www.bernie.to/RSVP-RedOak).

He will definitely be back in January!

What is the biggest challenge you guys are facing in Iowa right now and what are some of the main things you guys are doing to fight those challenges?

THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK! BERNIE ALL THE WAY!

Attendance has been through the roof so we've had to move venues last minute to accommodate the response - we've gotten pretty good at that dance. We've also had to build an infrastructure for handling the influx of volunteers (both in state and out of state) - opening more campaign offices than we expected/planned in very rapid fire. (These are good problems to have!)
