The New Hampshire People's Presidential Forum, originally planned on October 13th, 2019, was canceled due to scheduling conflicts. Instead, we hosted multiple conversations between candidates and local member groups, including this conversation between Sen. Bernie Sanders and members of Rights and Democracy New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Youth Movement on October 31.

The 2020 elections must respond to the needs of people, not big money and wealthy corporations – this election is happening from the grassroots up. It all started with presidential candidate forums held by People’s Action and anchored in New Hampshire by Rights & Democracy and New Hampshire Youth Movement.

Presidential candidates will be invited onstage for real conversations with everyday people about big solutions to the struggles facing the multiracial working class.

We'll tell our stories and ask presidential candidates to commit to partnering with us to enact our platform if they are elected. You’ll hear from family farmers, first generation immigrants, and workers being paid poverty wages.

These measures will kick the profiteers out of healthcare, energy, housing, and college. We’ll establish a public guaranteed right to healthcare when people are sick, homes when we can’t make the rent, college regardless of our income, and an energy sector that is 100% renewable, community controlled and benefits the people hurt the worst by pollution and climate change.

People aren't just building our platform: they are committing to vote, volunteer, and give money to enact our platform, run a movement politics campaign that puts people before donors, and elect leaders to co-govern with movement organizations.
