Bill Mc Kibben along with Ben & Jerry, to speak at Bernie's Kickoff event Tuesday
Bill McKibben, a Vermont environmental activist and author, will speak at the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign kickoff in Burlington next week, according to a Sanders spokesman.
"Bernie's sponsored the most aggressive climate change legislation in Congress," said Michael Briggs, a spokesman for the Sanders campaign. He added that McKibben and Sanders both worked to stop the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline and participated in a New York City climate change march last fall.

Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, founders of Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., are also expected to speak — with free ice cream in tow.
Sanders, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, will launch his campaign from Burlington 5 p.m. Tuesday at Waterfront Park.
