My name is Sandy Williams and I was elected as a National Delegate for Bernie Sanders from the 5th Congressional District in Eastern Washington.
I am raising money to make the trip to Philadelphia to attend the Democratic National Convention so that I can represent the thousands of voters who overwhelmingly supported Bernie Sanders in Washington State and I am asking for your support.
Take a look at my video.
Here is my story:
I am a 54 year old, Black, Lesbian, Feminist, Mother, who was introduced to Bernie Sanders by my 28 year old daughter. She said, “Mom, you have to check this guy out.”

So I did. I researched his policies, his positions on the issues that were important to me, his background, his record, and his history, and as a result.....
I AM A BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTER!

I have spent nearly four decades of my life working on issues of racial and social justice, fighting racism, sexism, classism and homophobia. I have worked as a part of groups and organizations when I could, and I have often fought all by myself when it was necessary. I have fought both inside of the system (I am currently the Eastern Washington Representative for the Washington State Commission on African American Affairs and I am on the Spokane Mayor’s Advisory Committee for Multicultural Affairs), and I have fought outside of the system as a community activist and grass roots organizer.
I am also currently the publisher and editor of The Black Lens Newspaper (the only African American focused newspaper in Eastern Washington) and publishing that paper each month is its own kind of fighting.

But right now, I am excited to be fighting with and for Bernie Sanders! A candidate who represents both my values and my ideals. A candidate that I believe in. A candidate that I trust, and a candidate that I know has the ability to turn this country around. And I want to be standing on the floor at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia to cast my vote for Bernie Sanders and to fight for Bernie to become to the democratic nominee for President of the United States.
Please check out my video if you haven't watched it already and I would appreciate any contribution that you can make towards covering the cost of plane fare, hotel and food while at am at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia! #StillWithSanders
Thank you for your support.
