State Rep. Justin Bamberg is joining the board of the group created to continue the work of Sen. Bernie Sanders, the former Democratic presidential candidate.

“We are building an organization that will lead the charge to bring policies that ensure social, economic and racial justice to every community,” Bamberg said.

“I look forward to working with the board, our local groups and supporters to make this vision a reality,” he said.

The Bamberg attorney has represented S.C. House District 90 since 2014. He is a Democrat.

He is most well-known for his role in representing the family of Walter Scott, an unarmed man who was shot in broad daylight in North Charleston.

During the 2017 presidential primaries he was an outspoken surrogate for Sanders’ campaign.

Our Revolution is an American progressive political action organization that grew out of the Sanders campaign.

The organization's mission is to educate voters about issues, get people involved in the political process and organize and elect progressive candidates.
