Bernie Sanders Hires Black Lives Matter Supporter as Press SecretarySymone Sanders is helping the Vermont Senator address racial inequality
When Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders last month expressed frustration with the Black Lives Matter protesters who've shut down his rallies, the presidential candidate risked alienating a disenfranchised group of people he has long professed to be aligned with. Activists then criticized Sanders – whose constituency is 95 percent white but who has always been a supporter of civil rights – and he responded by becoming more vocal in his outcry against police brutality and a need for criminal justice reform. Now he has also hired Symone Sanders, a young black activist and Black Lives Matter supporter, as his campaign's national press secretary, Buzzfeed reports. She issued her first public statement at a rally at the University of Washington campus on Saturday, giving a passionate speech that pegged Sanders as an ally of the Black Lives Matter movement who will seek to end for-profit prisons and address racial inequality in America.
Symone told Buzzfeed that Sanders hired her three week ago, after she shared some suggestions on how to improve. "One of my suggestions, he took it and ran with it on Meet the Press, is that racial inequality and economic inequality are parallel issues," she said.
She also urged him to shift his focus to "educating America, the community, letting people know who Bernie Sanders is and what he's about," as opposed to "just, 'Oh, I fought for civil rights and I protested and I sat at the lunch counters.' That's important and that's great but that was 50 years ago and he has a lot more to stand on than just what he did 50 years ago."
The campaign has also followed up with a detailed "Racial Justice" page that prioritizes the physical, economic, political, and legal barriers, framed as types of violence, that people of color face.

Excellent choice for the coming movement that will derail Hillary's campaign.
