THIS WEEKEND: Hundreds of Run Warren Run House Parties to Encourage Elizabeth Warren to Run for President

More than 220 events planned in 46 states, DC, Puerto Rico, and Guam.

This weekend, thousands of members of MoveOn.org Political Action, Democracy for America, and Ready for Warren will attend 224 house parties in 46 states plus Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and Guam as part of the nationwide Run Warren Run movement to draft Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) into the presidential race.

Across the country, supporters are hosting Run Warren Run house parties in hundreds of locations. In just over a month since its launch, nearly 300,000 Americans have signed up to support the Run Warren Run effort—a growing, grassroots movement focused on convincing Sen. Warren to bring her bold advocacy for working and middle class families and effective leadership style into the 2016 presidential race.

WHAT: Supporters of the Run Warren Run campaign will hold 224 organizing house parties to share stories about why they want Elizabeth Warren to run for President and develop ideas for local action that can help convince her to enter the race.
WHEN: Saturday, January 31, 2015 and Sunday, February 1, 2015
WHERE: Find a local house party here: http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/index.html?action_id=361

The Run Warren Run effort is encouraging Senator Warren to run for president because of her leadership in standing up to big banks and corporate interests, and fighting to level the economic playing field so working and middle-class families have a fighting chance.
