Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Sanders Sweeps Alaska, Hawaii and Washington in Landslide Victories

HeadlineMar 28, 2016

Back in the United States, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders won overwhelming victories in Alaska, Washington and Hawaii Saturday, chipping away at front-runner Hillary Clinton’s lead in the race to win the Democratic Party’s nomination for the White House. Sanders won 73 percent of the vote in Washington, 71 percent in Hawaii and 82 percent in Alaska. He spoke in Madison, Wisconsin.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “Let me begin by thanking the people of Alaska for giving us a resounding victory tonight. … I believe that our campaign is the campaign of energy, of momentum, which will lead to a large voter turnout in November and victory. … All right, are you ready for a news alert? We just won the state of Washington!”

We’ll have more on Sanders’ victories after headlines.
