We just got done covering the primary in South Carolina. Our work had an enormous impact with our video of Bernie talking to a teacher working 4 jobs got over 200K views.
Watch: Bernie says a teacher shouldn't have to work 2 jobs then a teacher interrupts him & says she works 4 jobs.
Now, we are in Charlotte, where we plan to focus on how immigrants are organizing for Bernie.
.@AriannaGenis of @ConMijente on how the Sanders campaign is helping to build the organizing capacity for immigrants rights organizations like hers that will have long-term effects well beyond the campaign.
During the GM strike, Zach and I filed 28 stories and 31 videos during 40 days of coverage from 5 different states. This time around, we hope to do the same and if we can raise enough money, we may stay on the road longer to keep covering the primary.
