StandingInLeftField's JournalBernie's Charleston SC Meeting Postponed Due To Tragic Shooting
An email I received last night:
"Larry,
Given the horrific attack at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Bernie is postponing his visit to Charleston, which was originally scheduled for Sunday.
The healing of the Charleston community has to be the only priority in this time of mourning.
Thank you,
Bernie 2016"
Others have posted his email and video condolences to the victims' families and comments about the shooting elsewhere on DU.
Bernie Sanders Charleston SC venue change (OP title change due to tragedy)
(Because of the tragic mass killing in Charleston on Wednesday evening, I have changed the title of this thread. The original title read "Bernie Sanders wil NOT be meeting at the ILA headquarters in Charleston SC..." I did not want any DU'ers who had not previously seen the OP to think the venue had changed or the meeting was cancelled due to the shooting. Bernie has issued a emotional response to the shooting and has labelled it for what it was - a racially-motivated killing.)
Over 1,000 people in ultra-red Charleston SC have signed up to see Bernie. The ILA headquarters is just not big enough to accommodate that many folks. So, the new location is 244 President Street, Charleston SC. The time for the meeting remains the same - 7:00 PM, Sunday, June 21.
Here's the link to Bernie's organizing page for Charleston: https://go.berniesanders.com/page/event/detail/townmeeting/jjq
See you there!
Just RSVP'd to see Bernie!
June 21st in Charleston SC, my adopted hometown (for the time being.) 7:00 at the International Longshoreman's Association, 1142 Morrison Drive.
I am very, very excited about this. Any others in the area, please go to berniesanders.com to sign up!
