ust days after former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. became the 20th candidate to join the Democratic presidential race, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont readied what he hoped would be his latest show of force: thousands of house parties across the country.

On Saturday, Mr. Sanders’s campaign kicked off its national organizing program with what it says are roughly 5,000 events across every state. Mr. Sanders addressed supporters via a prerecorded video that was filmed in Boston.

“Let’s run a historic grass-roots campaign,” he said. “And when we do that, the 1 percent can spend all the money that they want — we’re going to beat them.”
