How can I connect with, or start, a Bernie-mentum group in my town to work for Bernie? I live near Charlottesville. I just retired and am ready to do everything I can to get Bernie elected!

and/or any other activities you'd like to volunteer for.

Here is the page to volunteer on the BernieSanders.com site:

https://go.berniesanders.com/page/s/volunteer-for-bernie?source=web_main_nav

Then start a Meetup.com Bernie group for Charlottesville. A Meetup.com group basically helps you easily invite interested people in your area to attend get togethers to support Bernie:

http://www.meetup.com/

Post the Meetup.com group information in the Virginia Group here on DU:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1081

Post in the political section of Craigslist for Charlottesville:

https://charlottesville.craigslist.org/search/pol

Start a group for your area on Facebook and link to your Charlottesville Bernie Sanders Meetup.com group to have a place to discuss and the Meetup group to let people know the who, what where, & when of the events you are sponsoring.

These are just some quick suggestions. I hope they help or give you some ideas as to how to get started.

Not sure about using the DU Virginia group, have a real sour taste about DU these days. NYC SKP may just be the last straw for me here. Thinking of taking a break, I've had about all I can stand from the Hillary group
