Video: Bernie Sanders 2013: In McDowell County, Poverty is a Death Sentence



When we talk about poverty, I think a lot of people say, "Well somebody is poor who maybe lives in inadequate housing and that's just too bad, or may not have a good automobile or may not even be able to go to college." All of that's true. But poverty, and the stress of poverty, is much, much more than that. In many ways in our country the stress of poverty is a death sentence.

SEP 14 at 3:30PM - El Chisme2020 - A Conversation with Senator Bernie Sanders - Las Vegas

#ElChisme2020: 1-on-1 Conversations w candidates, starting 9/14 w @BernieSanders

Saturday, September 14th
3:30 p.m. Mijente Latinx Issues Town Hall
University of Nevada, Las Vegas CBC Building A110, 4505 S Maryland Pkwy, Las Vegas, NV 89154
This event is hosted by Mijente Support Committee and is not open to the public.




Already it’s clear that the 2020 presidential election will be historic. As the youngest and one of the fastest-growing populations, Latinos can be a decisive force in the outcome. Yet we are often invisible in political debate—our issues are not discussed, our communities are not engaged. That’s why we’re inviting Presidential candidates to come speak to us, speak to our issues and get to know our community. Space is limited so please make sure and RSVP - we’ll be getting back to confirm your seat as soon as possible.

HEADS UP - ¡OJO!

We’ll be focusing on issues that impact the Latino community, so to best ensure our community can hear from candidates in person we’ll be prioritizing the attendance of folks who identify as Latinx/Chicanx.
