Irwin continued: "So many young women are coming out in support of Bernie and volunteering much of their time to the campaign and its grassroots efforts. A joke amongst us - and the internet - is that Bernie is our boyfriend. Since we obviously can't celebrate Valentine's Day with the man (Jane's got that one covered), we thought we'd throw a party, called "Bernin' Love."

The goal of the event was to bring people together in celebration of not only Bernie, but the strength and excitement of our grassroots movement - the People's Revolution, if you will. Essentially, we wanted to create a space filled with love and camaraderie - what I believe to be underlying values to Bernie's platform. At the end of the day, Bernie Sanders is asking us to come together - despite of our vast differences - and take care of each other; to sow love, compassion and community-mindedness into policy."
