Bernie Sanders to hold Cleveland rally

9 years ago

In his first campaign trip to Ohio, Bernie Sanders will hold a rally at Cleveland State University on Monday night.

The rally will kick off at 7pm at the Wolstein Center on Prospect Avenue. Doors will open at 6pm. The event is free and open to the public, however the campaign strongly recommends attendees register online prior to the event.

The campaign says Sanders will discuss a “wide range of issues, including criminal justice reform, his college affordability plan, immigration reform, income and wealth inequality and getting big money out of politics.”

The independent Senator’s primary opponent, Hillary Clinton, won the Ohio primary in 2008 against now president Barack Obama.

Sanders scores major national union endorsement

9 years ago

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders netted the endorsement of the 200,000-strong American Postal Workers Union on Thursday.

The endorsement is Sanders’ second from a major national AFL-CIO member. He was formally backed by National Nurses United in August.

“No other candidate has his record of standing with workers on picket lines, fighting for a $15 per hour minimum wage, supporting free public college tuition, and advocating for veterans’ benefits,” said Mark Dimondstein, the union president.

“Bernie Sanders is a fierce advocate of postal reform. He staunchly opposes postal privatization, and supports enhanced postal services, including postal banking.”
