Bernie Sanders Benefit @ Shea Stadium 9/27
-snip-
My first run in with the infamous Bushwick Berners grassroots organizing group (of pretty considerable acclaim) was when Jon of Robot Death Kites hit me up on Facebook about organizing a meeting for some volunteers this summer. I won’t claim to be as involved as the man with the plan, but I will say that getting hands-on experience in grassroots organizing was a life-changing experience to say the least. Bernie Sanders himself actually has an indirect claim to DIY fame, as espoused by VICE – so, it’s fitting that there’s been a punk show organized in his name. Bushwick Berners, Ipsum, and Colonel are all working together to put on a benefit show for Bernie at long-time Brooklyn DIY spot Shea Stadium, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. You’ll be able to grab your own Feel The Burn mugs and other Bernie-affiliated swag at the event, and volunteers will be registering new voters and generally doing things that benefit democracy as a whole. Gonna run through the artist list for all you Berners out there. Grab tickets here!

I'm betting my booties that more than a few of those over-a-hundred
musicians, bands, artists and actors who recently put out that endorsement
list, will be doing this kind of thing BIG time.
THIS ^ is what a PEOPLE's political campaign looks like.
GO Bernie!
BTW - that photoshop of Bernie rocking out on the guitar is hilarious..
