About this ebook
When Bernie Sanders began his race for the presidency, it was considered by the political establishment and the media to be a “fringe” campaign, something not to be taken seriously. After all, he was just an Independent senator from a small state with little name recognition. His campaign had no money, no political organization, and it was taking on the entire Democratic Party establishment.
By the time Sanders’s campaign came to a close, however, it was clear that the pundits had gotten it wrong. Bernie had run one of the most consequential campaigns in the modern history of the country. He had received more than 13 million votes in primaries and caucuses throughout the country, won twenty-two states, and more than 1.4 million people had attended his public meetings. Most important, he showed that the American people were prepared to take on the greed and irresponsibility of corporate America and the 1 percent.
In Our Revolution, Sanders shares his personal experiences from the campaign trail, recounting the details of his historic primary fight and the people who made it possible. And for the millions looking to continue the political revolution, he outlines a progressive economic, environmental, racial, and social justice agenda that will create jobs, raise wages, protect the environment, and provide health care for all―and ultimately transform our country and our world for the better. For him, the political revolution has just started. The campaign may be over, but the struggle goes on.

Chapter 1: We Are Products of Our Environment
Bernie Sanders was born in Brooklyn, New York. He grew up with his parents and his brother Larry with little money so Larry and Bernie were forced to spend many nights on the couch. Looking back, Bernie couldn't remember how all four of them ever managed to fit in the kitchen at mealtimes.
He was still a child when World War 2 came to an end but his father felt its effects. As a Jewish Pole, he was forced to move to the United States in order to escape the holocaust. The fact that his father so nearly missed the hardships that so many other Jews had to endure left a lasting impact on Bernie's thought processes for the rest of his life.
Because Bernie's father was an immigrant with a family to feed, money was always tight for the Sanders family. On many occasions it led to arguments between his parents and sometimes long lectures about the value of money that could be sparked by something as simple as going to the wrong grocery store. Their lack of money also meant that they had to live in rent-controlled apartments rather than the private houses that some of his friends lived in. This was his first experience of what it meant to be working class or middle class. And one of the consequences of being working class meant that he grew up on the streets.
They played ball-games on those streets but what he learned was not how to become a professional athlete; he learnt about democracy. When kids play on the streets there are no adults to supervise them or referee their games so they had to learn early on how to make decisions and settle arguments as a group.
The streets were his first classroom of the real world but his trips into the wilderness had an even greater effect on who he would grow up to become. His trip to a camp in Narrowsburg ended with him being sent home early because he was home sick but on the next one he stayed even longer than he was supposed to. Living in the outdoors in a rural way changed him and he quickly fell in love with the simple way of life. That was when he decided that he loved country living which is why he ended up living in Vermont, one of the most rural areas in the United States.
Before he could get to his dream of living in the wild, he had to finish school first. He graduated from James Madison High School then went on to study at the University
