Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has received support from all over the country in his bid to be the Democratic candidate in the 2016 presidential election and now New York City is embracing him. Grassroots organizers in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn will host a fundraiser for him Sunday. The Bushwick Berners, a grassroots organizing collective, will hold the benefit at the Brooklyn live performance center Shea Stadium, the Village Voice reported.

The Bushwick Bernes told the Voice that the event, which starts at 8 p.m., is as much a fundraiser as it is an attempt to register young voters. About 1,000 people have said they will attend the event, which will feature live music from New York bands Guerilla Toss, Mannequin Pussy, Nine of Swords and Nonsense. Tickets for $8 can be purchased here. (here's the link: http://berniebenefit.brownpapertickets.com/ )

Sunday won’t be the last time Sanders’ campaign will see support from Brooklyn, the borough where he was born. Other Sanders' supporters have planned a fundraiser in October for the candidate at The Paper Box, a music venue in East Williamsburg. About 1,000 people have said they will go to the event, according to the event’s Facebook page.

1. Berniemania at Shea!

2. This how we should be doing this.... EVERYWHERE!

I don't think you need the Man himself at an event if you bring up the right music and speakers... and disallow or minimize other groups such as ANSWER, Free Mumia, Black Lives Matter, Save the whales/wolves/dogs/cats/pigs and chickens by offering tabling, but not an onstage role. All about Bernie, his ideas, platform....Perhaps a taped or live something as well.....
