Sanders is expect to discuss a range of issues including income and wealth inequality, campaign finance changes, high prescription drug costs, criminal justice reform, and college affordability.

The Springfield rally will take place on the steps of Springfield City Hall at 2 p.m. The Boston event takes place at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center at 6 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.
