Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders launches a multi-state tour in Indianapolis today to talk about working class challenges. Sanders says the rallies will target their message to elected officials and corporations. He'll ask for universal healthcare, affordable college, infrastructure improvements and jobs returned to the United States from oversees.
"We can address those issues if working people begin to stand up and fight back and demand an economy that works for all and not just the people on top."
Sanders will open the tour with State Senator David Niezgodski and former local union official Chuck Jones. Jones was a leading voice for Carrier workers during their fight with the manufacturer about outsourced jobs to Mexico.
Sanders' campaign bills the event as a grassroots tour to 'hold President Donald Trump accountable to his campaign pledge to create 'more jobs and better wages' by stopping offshoring'
The event starts at 4 p.m. at Monument Circle.
