Synopsis

Lessons learned and uplifting stories of grassroots progressives during the 2016 Presidential election, at caucuses and primaries, and conventions on the front-lines of a new political revolution. My Journey with Bernie is an adventure and reads like “a roller coaster ride” with incredible highs, steep drops, and lows with inspirational, uplifting stories about the people who are bringing enthusiasm, hope, and leading a new political revolution. In My Journey with Bernie, Kacey Carpenter shares his personal story and lessons learned from people he met during the campaign, at caucuses and primaries, and conventions. Along his journey, he gains trust in the power of people with renewed optimism for “A Future to Believe In.” “Look it's not about me, it's about us, and when we stand together we can do anything,” Bernie Sanders tells the volunteers at the Reno Rally in December 2015, pointing his finger directly at me, Kacey recalls, urging all of us to do more. “At that moment,” Kacey says, “I feel the Bern.” Soon, he is co-leading 300 people from 30 states to go to Iowa for the first Democratic Party caucus to begin a journey traveling around the country and the world.

CHAPTER TWELVE

LESSONS FROM MY JOURNEY

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

—Dr. Seuss, The Lorax^²⁹³

During the past few years, my life has changed dramatically. My journey has transformed my life, my purpose, and my trust system. I have learned lessons from many people starting with Bernie Sanders and many others along the way. This chapter is not the end of my journey but just the beginning. I hope that my experience and this story inspires others.

I had the opportunity to be a grassroots volunteer, a delegate, run for local office, create grassroots clubs, and learn from so many incredible people. During my journey, I took many physical and mental steps walking door-to-door in different communities and evaluating my core beliefs.

These twelve steps are some of the lessons that I learned along the way, and I would love to hear from you about what you learned in your journey too.
