Baraka will provide his responses to the debate questions alongside Tim Kaine and Mike Pence from a studio in Richmond, which will be inserted into the ongoing live feed of the official debate. This democratized version of the vice presidential debate will be livestreamed on Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka’s official social media accounts via Periscope and Facebook Live, with a televised simulcast carried by Democracy Now! on Free Speech TV and Link TV as part of their “Expanding the Debate” special.

The live feed will also be made available to other online and televised media platforms for simultaneous broadcast. Online viewers can also read, watch and share individual responses that will be posted on Baraka’s Twitter stream.

Live Feed available for online and broadcast platforms via Wirecast
