Organizers Charles Lenchner, Kat Brezler, and Moumita Ahmed were Sanders delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Other People for Bernie supporters became formally involved the Sanders campaign, including Max Cotterill, who worked on Sanders's Digital Organizing team, and Shana East, who went on to become the Illinois Digital and Volunteer Coordinator. The deepening relationship between the Sanders campaign and People for Bernie (and other similar groups) was credited with helping Sanders break small-donor fundraising records.
