at 11 EDT, according to what I read earlier.

Livestream will be available, according to his campaign manager, and I hope cable news will be covering his speech as well:






I'll post the direct link for the livestream when it's available.


Editing to add the link to the YouTube video and a thread about the speech:

Tweet from NBC's Mike Memoli with what I believe is an excerpt from the speech:

founding."


Right, but...our country was founded and built on white supremacy. We modified and watered down those highest ideals *in our own government and policies* and do so to this day. White supremacy is not only bombings and shootings. It's baked into policies and preferences in politics, education, finance, the working world, culture, entertainment. I should hope someone speaks out against bombings. I want someone to talk about how they'll dismantle white supremacy, too.
