INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (February 28, 2016) -- Hundreds of Hoosiers showed their support for democratic presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, Saturday afternoon.

They gathered on the front lawn of the Statehouse in a "March for Bernie Sanders." Hundreds of similar events took place nationwide.

"If we want to continue to move forward and stop the oppression of marginalized groups... if we want to give people a fighting chance in our economy... we have to support Senator Sanders," said Stanley Njuguna, college student.

Marchers also heard from Indianapolis City-County councilor, Jared Evans.
