>By Sumana Ali

Sanders’ campaign is off to a fierce start with diverse supporters and a strong grassroots movement focused on reform. Despite the heavy snow, roughly 13,000 supporters joined him on a cold Saturday morning.

“The struggle is about taking on the incredibly powerful institutions that control the economic and political life of our nation,” Sanders said. The crowd cheered when he called for combating climate change, reforming the criminal justice system, taxing the 1 percent and lowering the price of prescription medications.
