April 25, 2016 - A day before Bernie Sanders drew over 10,000 supporters to a mass rally on the Green, some of his local backers held a small rally of their own to highlight theirs and the campaign’s call for criminal justice reform.
Criminal-justice reform activist Barbara Fair said she organized the rally outside the federal courthouse on Church Street Saturday to draw attention to the differences between Hillary Clinton’s and Sanders’ histories and approaches to criminal justice reform. Sanders and Clinton face off in Tuesday’s Democratic presidential primary in Connecticut.
