U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is coming to Lansing on Sunday, Feb. 25, to head a rally urging repeal of the recent tax reform bill signed by President Trump.

The rally is part of a nationwide series of Repeal the Trump Tax events organized by Not One Penny and TaxMarch, which are progressive coalitions opposed to the tax bill.

The Lansing rally will be from 4 to 5 p.m. Feb. 25 at the Lansing Center, 333 Michigan Ave. It is free and open to the public.

Sanders, a Vermont Socialist who sought the Democratic nomination for president in 2018, is heading similar rallies in Iowa and Wisconsin.

Sanders has called the bill "a disaster for the American people."

"It is a victory for billionaires like Donald Trump, it's a victory for wealthy campaign contributors like the Koch Brothers," Sanders said in a Dec. 26 CNN interview.

He said the new policy is "based on the fraudulent theory of trickle-down economics.

"Problem is, that theory has never worked," Sanders said.
