Larry Sanders traveling with Bernie on U.K. book tour

Excerpt:

Bernie will be heading to Brighton Festival on June 1, Cambridge Union, Oxford Sheldonian and Brixton Academy on June 2, plus Bristol Festival of Ideas and Hay Festival on June 3.

His brother Larry, the Green Party candidate for the Oxford East constituency, said it “will be lovely” to spend time with his Democratic socialist sibling during his three-day trip.

“All the venues are very big and very sold-out – fortunately, the family are getting free tickets,” said Mr Sanders, who lives in Oxford.

“I will certainly be at the Oxford one. I am going to go to Bristol too, but I won’t probably sit in the audience, and I will drive with him to Hay so we will have a chance to be together and to talk. It will be lovely.”

Bernie Back in Brooklyn

Excerpt:

POSTED BY: PAUL FRANGIPANE, DYLAN CAMPBELL AUGUST 24, 2016
Brooklyn College alumnus, Bernie Sanders made a surprise visit to the college on Friday where he attracted a crowd of students and faculty, roamed around and signed a nearly 60-year-old letter that he wrote to a former Kingsman editor.

An old letter to an editor of The Kingsman, written by Sanders in his time at the college resurfaced and was signed by the candidate on Friday. Nancy Strein, associate director of digital at the Office of Communications and Marketing framed the letter that is now waiting in her office to be hung in an appropriate location.

The letter showcases a young Sanders opposing the administrative decision to ban students from touching the grass in the lawn between Boylan and Ingersoll Halls.

Sanders was filming for his campaign with actor, Mark Ruffalo before his rally at his former school, James Madison High. While on campus, Sanders was responsible for a digital storm on the Brooklyn College Facebook page, “BC In the Know.” The page blew up with videos, pictures and exclamations from students that spotted Sanders for themselves. At that point it became a race to see Sanders in the flesh.
