Excerpt:

CNN)Sen. Bernie Sanders is inviting the corporate bosses of four major American companies to face their employees during a livestreamed town hall event in Washington on July 16.

"I really hope (the CEOs) have the guts to sit on a panel with their own employees and explain why it's acceptable that they receive huge compensation packages while their very own workers are struggling to put food on the table," Sanders said in an interview. "I hope they have the courage to do so. The invitation is sincere."
Letters addressed to Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Doug McMillon of Walmart, Steve Easterbrook of McDonald's and Disney's Bob Iger will be sent on Thursday.

The July town hall, which will be presented in partnership with digital media outlets and progressive groups including act.tv, NowThis, The Young Turks, The Guardian, ATTN:, Free Speech TV, The Nation magazine, CREDO Mobile, MoveOn and Good Jobs Nation, will be Sanders' fourth live, online-only event this year.

"What I want to do with our efforts," he said, "is to have people turn on the damn computer and say, 'You know what? Sanders and the people up there are talking about my life.' "
