To the Boomers We Love: Join Us Young People in the Movement Behind Bernie Sanders
Polls show that many older Americans don’t support Bernie Sanders. But we don’t want to write those boomers off — we want to warmly invite them to join our movement that’s fighting for dignified lives for us, for them, and for their children and grandchildren.

Dear Boomers,
We are millennials. Like the majority of our young peers, we enthusiastically support Bernie Sanders for president. And we want to ask the older generation to join Bernie’s movement.
Boomers like you often get a bad rap from young people like us. Who can forget the recent “OK, Boomer” meme, denigrating you on the basis of your age? But we are writing this letter because we don’t believe you should be written off. On the contrary: we need you.
