Mobile, Alabama (February 25, 2016) — Mobile, Alabama for Bernie Sanders, the local group organizing to help Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders win the March 1st primary in Alabama, is holding a march in downtown Mobile this coming Saturday.

Attendees will march 1 mile starting at Cathedral Square. Local community leaders are expected to speak at the event on how Bernie Sanders’ policies relate to the local community. The overarching theme is to call for social and economic equality, advocating for initiatives such as raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour.

The march, titled “March for Bernie”, is part of a national grassroots effort across the country to mobilize voters to get out the vote for Super Tuesday, and to get involved in their communities. Similar rallies are being held in Birmingham, AL, New Orleans, LA, and Atlanta, GA.

“The purpose of the event is to secure Bernie Sanders’ victory in the March 1st primary in Alabama,” Peter Daigle, an organizer for the event, said. “Alabama has among the highest rates of poverty in the country, and his economic policies will benefit working class families across the state.”
