Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday will outline a vision for America which calls upon the country to finally implement President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Second Bill of Rights,” a program for economic and social justice advanced in 1944 but not yet achieved.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality Sanders believes, as did Roosevelt, that all Americans should have a right to a job with a living wage; health care; education; social security; housing and freedom from unfair competition and monopolies.
The speech at The Institute of Politics and Public Service at Georgetown’s McCourt School of Public Policy also will discuss foreign affairs and how the world community can defeat the Islamic State.
Here is the itinerary:

Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont will speak at Georgetown this week about what it means to be a democratic socialist in America.
The talk, which takes place on Thursday at 2 p.m. in the university’s historic Gaston Hall, is sponsored by the university’s newly created Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service at the McCourt School of Public Policy.
Sanders’ talk will be webcast live at politics.georgetown.edu.
“This speech is one of those defining moments in a presidential campaign,” said Mo Elleithee, the institute’s executive director and a 20-year veteran of national politics. “For weeks, Senator Sanders and his team have been signalling that he intends to have a thoughtful discussion about what it means to be a ‘democratic socialist.’ We are psyched he chose Georgetown as the place to have that conversation.”
The institute has extended an invitation to every major candidate in the 2016 presidential election to speak at Georgetown.
Following his remarks, Sanders will engage in a question-and-answer session with the university community, moderated by Elleithee. A Georgetown University ID is required for entry into the event.
Georgetown students, faculty and staff can share questions and join the conversation at @GUPolitics and #BernieAtGU.
Launched in the fall of 2015, the Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service is dedicated to reconnecting young people with the idea that politics is a noble vehicle for public service.

in his address at Georgetown University, Gaston Hall, 2 PM ET.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt called for a Second Bill of Rights on Jan. 11, 1944 during his State of the Union Speech to Congress and the nation. The rights of Americans that FDR proposed included a useful job, a decent home and a good education and health care regardless of station, race or creed. The president died on April 12, 1945 before living long enough to see the Second Bill of Rights implemented.
Today Sen. Bernie Sanders will highlight FDR's Second Bill of Rights in explaining his vision of creating an America based on economic and social justice in the 21st century.
