Activists from throughout the country are gathering for the three-day conference, which starts Sunday. They will develop strategies and tactics that will expand the political force of People's Action. The conference will also kick off candidate recruitment, training programs and events in key congressional districts to bring more working-class people into our political system.
Sanders' appearance will cap off a session that includes prospective candidates sharing their stories about why they will run for office. The "Protest to Power" platform will be officially presented during the session as well.
Other lawmakers speaking during the three-day conference include Democratic National Committee Vice-Chair Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.).
