Bernie Sanders to hold rally and calls for students to host watch parties

October 9, 2017

Excerpt:

Bernie Sanders is calling for students across the country to organize watch parties for his Oct. 10 rally in support of making public colleges and universities tuition free, according to a press release.

“Please join me for a livestream event on Oct. 10...to kick off a campus movement to fight to make public colleges and universities free,” Sanders said in an op-ed. “Many of you and your families are struggling to meet the high costs of tuition, expensive books, housing and extra fees.”

Public colleges and universities are already tuition-free in many advanced countries such as Germany and Finland, according to the release.

“The legislation [I’m proposing] would eliminate tuition and fees at four-year public colleges and universities for families making up to $125,000 - and make community college fee-free for all,” Sanders said, according to the press release. The rally can be viewed on Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. on Facebook.com/SenatorSanders.
