The mission and movement that Bernie Sanders has sparked is not over.

Former Ohio State Sen. Nina Turner spoke at a San Francisco rally before Tuesday’s California primary and delivered a message: “Fight on. … We’re going all the way to the convention.”

The Democratic National Convention opens July 25 in Philadelphia, and Sanders, who is battling Hillary Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination, has said it will be a contested convention.

Other highlights from Turner’s speech:

“We are not going to accept status quo politics.”

“All great movements start from the bottom, not from the top.”

“We are being tested in this moment because there will never another candidate like Bernie Sanders.”
