Bernie is coming to Greenville for a rally to discuss getting big money out of politics, combating climate change, making college education more affordable, and dealing with obscene wealth and income inequality.
Doors open at 10 a.m. Program begins at 11 a.m.
Bernie2016tv on YouTube will be covering the event here:
Bernie2016tv is also a 6 week old member of Daily Kos. I've heard Daily Kos diaries mentioned during their broadcasts a few of times. They've been an invaluable resource for us following the not-so-big rallies and events. For those of you unfamiliar with them, here is a snippet from their first diary explaining who they are:
Let those who inspire you lead you!
Say, "Hello!" to Bernie2016.tv! We are a grassroots collection of volunteers working to bring a 24-hour, educational and inspirational medium to the internet to promote Bernie’s ideas and efforts for a better world.
...
Bernie2016.tv has rapidly established itself as a central resource for Bernie’s grassroots following across all major social media platforms. With volunteer time, organization, and production, Bernie2016.tv has already successfully produced live, interactive broadcasts at two of Bernie’s most recent campaign stops -- Madison, WI and Portland, ME. Most recently, two amazing 15yo students in Alabama in the same small town hosted a 2+ hour show around Bernie’s speech in Portland, Maine. We coordinated with independent rally attendees for both events and brought them into our live broadcasts alongside the hosts for viewer interaction. In addition to our live productions, we’ve also received and shared recordings provided to us by local meetups, grassroots musicians, and grassroots video podcast producers. The Huffington Post also elected to include us in one of their articles recently.
In the coming days and weeks, Bernie2016.tv has active plans to not only continue live-broadcasting official campaign events with an important human touch from the 99%, but also broadcasting non-official gatherings and individual efforts to illustrate the international reality of this amazing Bernie-mania.
...
We aspire to serve as an authentic, free, and accurate source of information from the American grassroots community of the 99%. We do not feel this critically important community-based dialogue should be limited by the priorities of major media conglomerates and their majority shareholders. We want to serve as the example which proves crowd-sourced broadcasting can educate and improve our country far more efficiently than scripted, primetime broadcasting in between credit card commercials.
There's much more to read in the diary about the founder, John Ellis (@johnetec on Twitter,) past, present and future events, their hopes, dreams, goals and the nearly 150 volunteers and contributors making this thing work.
I've mentioned before how exciting this fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants reporting is. Using sources like Periscope, bernie2016tv has made many LIVESTREAM diaries possible when mainstream media and Bernie's official campaign isn't broadcasting it and given us a window to events like these recently witnessed: the BLM Seattle dust-up as it happened start to finish; the systematic shut-down though copyright infringement take-downs of those trying to watch the corporate controlled profit machine that was the first FOX Republican debate if you weren't paying for a signal from them; technical problems and overloaded networks and the LA media shut down coverage only to have bernie2016tv step in with hours of terrific coverage by people in line, but also rounding up a top notch feed right as Bernie began; how we failed to deliver in Dubuque but still had fun trying.
They also have a web presence here: Bernie2016.tv
I'll be updating as the event progresses with other links, updates and corrections as needed. If you have anything I need to add, let me know in the comments.
As always, enjoy the show!
