DENMARK – Sen. Bernie Sanders will be making a donation to Denmark residents following his recent trip to the town.

Sanders’ campaign stated that the Democratic presidential candidate’s visit with Denmark citizens prompted him to make a donation of water at a rally scheduled to address the city’s issues.

“Following Sen. Bernie Sanders’ visit to Bamberg County, where he met with those impacted by the ongoing Demark water crisis, Bernie 2020 South Carolina State Director Kwadjo Campbell will join with residents and community leaders in Denmark at the Rally for Safe Clean Water,” a campaign press release says.

The rally, which is free and open to the public, will be held at 199 Coker Ave. at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 25.

“In addition to echoing Sen. Sanders’ call for immediate action to resolve the crisis and ensure that all Americans have safe, clean drinking water, Campbell will deliver 500 cases of bottled water, donated by Sen. Sanders and the campaign, to help ease the burden of families in Denmark facing the constant threat of toxic water,” the release said.

Sanders held what was billed as an “environmental justice” town hall at Denmark Technical College on Saturday.
