(Update at 8:10 a.m. April 18: Last night they reported the priciest seats for the Clooney fundraiser were $100,000 so I changed the figure from $300,000. Mixed numbers have been reported. My understanding is there were two fundraisers and at one the most expensive seats were about $350,000 and at the other, the highest-priced seats were $100,000. In either case, it’s a heck of a lot of money to pay to dine with a candidate for president.)
(Update at 2:30 p.m. April 17: I received this message from one of the Dine With The 99 Organizers, Katharine Kennedy Coburn: “4 women who never met, created, organized & worked tirelessly on this idea, website and its’ promotion over a short 3 weeks! From there it was the 100s of hosts and 1000s of attendees who made it happen!!! You can find more info about who we are at dinewiththe99.com.”)

If you search the Hashtags #DineWithThe99 and #PotluckForBernie on social media this weekend, you’ll find photos of happy potluckers from all around the United States — and some foreign countries including South Korea, Mexico and an event in Germany that attracted 40 people from more than a dozen nations (an organizer from Germany contacted me Monday morning and said they’re meeting again soon to plan additional fundraising events for Bernie including a barbeque).
I was excited when a Facebook friend from a Bernie Sanders group invited me to join the Dine With The 99 Movement developing in reaction to George Clooney’s $100,000-a-plate fundraiser for Hillary Clinton. George said Sunday he agrees with Bernie Sanders supporters who protested the fundraiser at his house about the fact that there’s too much big money influencing politics today. Bustle had an article about why the four women behind this potluck movement believe feminists should support Bernie Sanders.
