UPDATED: DNC speakers list a who’s who of high-profile Democrats

Here’s a list of next week’s speakers you can look forward to hearing, heckling, and (hopefully) meme-ing.

As we close the book on #RNCinCLE16 we leave behind Donald Trump’s Thursday night acceptance speech; Ted Cruz’s unleashed moment trumping running mate Mike Pence; and of course, the flap over Melania Trump’s speech. But we look forward to next week, here in Philadelphia, at the Democratic National Convention.

Here’s a list of speakers you can look forward to hearing, heckling, and (hopefully) meme-ing.

Monday

First Lady Michelle Obama
Senator Bernie Sanders
DREAMer Astrid Silva

Tuesday

President Bill Clinton
Gwen Carr, mother of Eric Garner
Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin
Maria Hamilton, mother of Dontré Hamilton
Lucia McBath, mother of Jordan Davis
Lezley McSpadden, mother of Michael Brown
Cleopatra Pendleton-Cowley, mother of Hadiya Pendleton
Geneva Reed-Veal, mother of Sandra Bland

As of now, there is no plan to hear from the families of fallen law enforcement officers, which has drawn the condemnation of the Philadelphia police union leadership.

Wednesday

Vice President Joe Biden

Thursday
