Morning Brief: April 8
All day tomorrow, Bernie Sanders is holding a block party and volunteer event to make the opening of his Harlem office official. If you go, you'll learn how to canvass, how to knock on doors and how to handle phone banks. It's also a chance for fellow Bernie supporters to talk and get to know each other. The event kicks off at 10 in the morning and lasts until 9 at night
