Excerpts:

"So many people in Vermont and here in California are struggling to make ends meet," Sanders told KTLA in an interview Friday. "We have to create a better economy that works for all people not just the top few."

Sanders will begin his day Saturday at a roundtable event with Disneyland resort employees in Anaheim, where unions are pushing legislation to increase wages for hospitality workers. Earlier this year, a union-funded survey found more than 10 percent of the theme park's employees had experienced homelessness in the past two years.

The Anaheim event will be followed by a town hall in Carson with dockworkers from the Port of Long Beach, who Sanders characterized as exploited.

Next, he'll head to a rally in support of criminal justice reform in downtown Los Angeles. He'll be joined by Patrisse Cullors, an L.A. native and one of the organization's co-founders, and activist Shaun King, known for using social media to highlight injustice.
