Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders plans to host a town hall meeting in Moreno Valley on Friday, Dec. 20, to talk about his Green New Deal.

Anna Bahr, California press secretary for the candidate’s 2020 election campaign, said Sen. Sanders, I-Vermont, will take questions from the audience at the meeting, set for 1 p.m. Friday at Marinaj Banquets & Events, 22605 Alessandro Blvd.

Doors will open at noon for the free event, which is open to the public, a news release states. Tickets aren’t required, but RSVPs are encouraged through Sanders’ campaign website. Entrance will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Sanders will discuss a climate plan that aims to slow global warming, create 20 million jobs and move the United States toward 100% reliance on clean, renewable energy for electricity and transportation by 2030, Bahr said in an email.

Sanders also plans a Coachella Valley rally at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 16, at the Rancho Mirage Amphitheater, 71560 San Jacinto Drive, Rancho Mirage, the release stated.

In early October, Sanders cancelled a planned stop at Riverside City College due to health concerns. On Oct. 2, Sanders’ campaign said the candidate had a heart procedure for a blocked artery.

During his 2016 presidential bid, Sanders held rallies at Riverside Municipal Auditorium and other Inland Empire locations.
