The Democratic National Committee has given its official blessing to two large activist networks to host a "Black Lives Matter" presidential town hall. While the DNC maintained that they will not add any formal debates to the schedule, they approved a forum with the candidates centered around racial justice issues. The groups -- #BlackLivesMatter and Campaign Zero -- have yet to officially schedule the forum, but the DNC has promised they will promote any such event.
