American climate activists recruiting their German counterparts to save Bernie Sanders' candidacy

As Sen. Bernie Sanders presses on in what increasingly looks like a doomed bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, climate activists across the globe are doing their best to keep his candidacy afloat.

Young American climate activists are working to recruit environmental activists from Germany to rally support for Sanders through phone banking in key primary states.

Members of Germany's largest climate advocacy group, "Fridays for Future" (FFF), are using WhatsApp chat groups to recruit volunteers for Sanders. The groups are open to anyone and once in, anyone can send messages to the group.

"In the US, our friends from Sunrise Movement, Youth Climate Strike, and Zero Hour have rallied behind Bernie Sanders," an FFF coordinator wrote, according to a message obtained by Business Insider.

Come on now. It's bad enough with Trump trying to get foreign intervention in our elections.
