Bernie Sanders to Meet With Rev. Jesse Jackson in Chicago

(snip)
Jackson told Ward Room he and Sanders will talk "urban policy issues" during the Vermont senator's visit to Operation Rainbow Push on Saturday morning. Sanders is holding a rally Friday at Argo Community High School in suburban Summit.

Hillary Clinton also was invited to Operation Rainbow Push, Jackson said, but she wasn't available as she attended First Lady Nancy Reagan's funeral Friday before heading to Ohio.

"I have a relationship with both," Jackson said of Sanders and Clinton

Instead of endorsements, Jackson wants to focus on voter registration, something he long has been passionate about.

I'm a bit annoyed that he has not. Bernie endorsed Jesse twice, helped him win the Vermont primary.

I still believe in the Rainbow Coalition. Bernie does, too. Jesse should be out there stumping for Bernie.
