Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumWhat Bernie needs to do.
I hope he makes a big effort to go to African American churches and meeting halls to introduce himself and his ideas to them. Many just don't know him and I think if he reaches out to them and they get to know him, they will realize he is the best candidate most likely to address their concerns and needs as POTUS.

Even though she's not actively on the campaign trail like others this is an important issue and she should be working with them. Also where is our govt. on this- DOJ, national and local? And governors and police depts.?

If you want to organize in a community, you need paid organizers who come from that community to help you along.
I'm 110% sure that Hillary Clinton understands this. I hope Bernie does too.
