Bernie Sanders names Jesse Jackson special advisor

Mar 13, 2020

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Senator Bernie Sanders has named Jesse Jackson a special advisor.

The civil rights activist will advise Sanders on the issues of economic and foreign policy.

“I am humbled and proud to have Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. by my side in the fight to expand voting rights, create the single-payer healthcare system that the American people deserve, and finally deliver full social and economic equality for those who have been left behind,” Sanders said.

Rev. Jackson, Sr. endorsed Sen. Sanders in Michigan last weekend, before delivering remarks alongside the senator at a campaign rally.

Sanders’ campaign said Jackson, Sr. will implement a 21st century Economic Bill of Rights, enact a federal jobs guarantee and end endless wars.

LESSONS FROM THE CORONAVIRUS: Bernie addresses the lessons the nation can learn from the coronavirus outbreak

I am honored to have the endorsement of Milwaukee's @AFTLocal212.

Following a 10-month process involving full and part-time faculty, academic support staff and counselors, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Local 212’s Committee on Political Education (COPE) has endorsed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders for president.

“This endorsement is about values. Senator Bernie Sanders has been vocal and unwavering in his support for fair and equitable treatment of workers, access to high quality, affordable healthcare and strengthening of public education, to name a few”, declared Dr. Lisa Conley, an MATC Natural Science Instructor and President of Local 212. “At the end of the day, Senator Sanders most closely aligns with the very things that our union stands for.”

Dr. Conley explained that the union polled its members last May to identify a top-tier slate of preferred candidates. A COPE team then analyzed the candidates’ positions on issues of critical importance to MATC employees and students, sharing this information with members who also participated in a later preference poll and a caucus event. The process culminated with COPE’s endorsement vote over the weekend.
