The Bernie 2020 campaign made over 300 million voter contact attempts, including knocking 6.7 million doors, making 49 million calls, sending 260 million texts. It was able to achieve this through a distributed organizing effort that built on the work of tens of thousands of "deeply empowered" volunteers. After the campaign, former members of the Bernie 2020 organizing team wrote, "In 2016, the Sanders campaign pioneered distributed organizing, and in 2020, we deployed it at a scale and level of sophistication previously thought impossible."
