PHILADELPHIA — Bernie Sanders’ most fervent supporters have made themselves heard, or, at least, seen all week here during the Democratic National Convention.

From booing early in the week, to chanting and interrupting speeches to squatting in the media tents in protest, the “Bernie or bust” crowd has been a part of the story.

Tonight, those supporters are going to make one final effort to be seen, but not necessarily heard.

“The only protest I’m participating in this week is the silent ‘#StopTPP’ tonight,” Clarkston Mayork Ted Terry, a Sanders delegate here, said. “You will see shirts and signs around the arena. This is an issue that has united human rights, environmental and labor groups and activists.”
