Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Tom Perez, launch a tour of several “red” and “purple” states Monday, starting in Portland, Maine. The tour then heads to Louisville, Kentucky, on Tuesday, Omaha, Nebraska, on Thursday, and Salt Lake City, Utah, and Mesa, Arizona, on Friday. Rallies are also tentatively scheduled for Florida, Montana and Nevada. Search for details here.
The tour will “begin the process of creating a Democratic Party which is strong and active in all 50 states, and a party which focuses on grassroots activism and the needs of working families,” according to an announcement by Sanders and Perez. Their priorities for the “Come Together and Fight Back Tour” include pushing for a $15 minimum wage and pay equity for women, action on climate change, reforming the immigration and criminal justice systems and tax reform that “demands that the wealthy and large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes.”
