The Bulwark's Live Show and the Haitian Community in Springfield
Tim announces that The Bulwark will be hosting another fundraiser live show in Dayton, Ohio, in two weeks, on September 25th. The proceeds from this event will go to the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio. This initiative comes in response to the horrifying suicide of Pierre and the distressing videos of Mark Wayne Mullen shackling Haitians and deporting them. Tim emphasizes the importance of supporting the community after these events, stating that for those unable to attend, there will be an opportunity to donate and support the cause. He also mentions upcoming shows in Columbia, Charlotte, and Atlanta in October.
