CALIFORNIA — Sen. Bernie Sanders will return to California on Friday, November 15, for a three-day swing across the Golden State. Stops include Fresno, Long Beach, and East Los Angeles.
Bernie 2020 has seen an outpouring of support in California–particularly among young and Latino voters. The campaign has surpassed 8 million attempted voter contacts, held more than 3,000 events, and more than 730,000 people have taken action with the campaign. Sanders sixth trip to California comes on the heels of the release of his bold, progressive immigration plan that would fundamentally overhaul immigration into a humane, lawful process that protects families and respects human rights.
“There is no doubt, the Latino community and young voters will deliver Bernie Sanders’ victory in the California primary,” said Rafael Návar, Bernie 2020 California State Director. “No other candidate is prepared to take on a system that has disenfranchised hard working people. Californians understand that only Senator Sanders has the vision to make housing affordable, create tuition-free public colleges, and fight for the good-paying, union jobs that all Americans deserve. The Latino community is the strength of our grassroots movement in the Golden State, and we do not underestimate their power in this election.”
