Velveeta said after the Chicago rally that SEIU provides buses and posters.
Trump mentioned an insignia was on the BERNI posters. Are they the same?

Not sure about the insignia; I didn’t notice. But for SEIU to be in on it makes total sense.
Where I worked in H.R., the SEIU had a strong presence and, of course, extorted dues from employees. At one point ees had the option to opt out of the SEIU but many didn’t bother. Then I explained to them where their dues were going and what candidates were being supported. I was successful in many “conversions” — quietly, of course. I wasn’t interested in being whacked by a union thug.
BernieSanders.com is on them.
Also, there’s the usual union print shop symbol, but nothing tying them to SEIU.
The roll call of “organizers” per wiki:
MoveOn.org confirmed that it helped promote the protest and paid for printing protest signs and a banner.[6][8] Among those who did take part in organizing the protest included members of the UIC faculty; the Black Student Union; the Muslim Student Association; the Fearless Undocumented (immigrant) Association; Black Lives Matter; and Showing Up for Racial Justice, with “black, Latino and Muslim young people” at the “core” of the crowds of protestors.[9][10][11]

Participants, on the other hand, is a whole different animal.
Seiu, Answer, MoveOn etc. that’s where the money comes from. I also read that there was a southside business owner who provided 2 of the many buses.
