Bernie Sanders hosted a rally at the Kansas City Convention Center on Wednesday.
The Democratic presidential hopeful discussed his plans to make college and universities tuition-free; combat climate change and ensuring universal health care for all. The crowd at a packed Bartle Hall provided an enthusiastic and receptive audience for his campaign themes.
"This candidate for president will talk about poverty. We'll stand together with the most oppressed people in this country." -@BernieSanders
