WPTZ (NBC) Burlington, VT. Some 250 progressive politicians and activists are taking to the Queen City this week for the Sanders Institute Gathering.

"And have them discuss together what we can do; come up with bold ideas and move forward," said Jane Sanders, wife of Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Big political names are in town to talk progressive ideas like universal health care, including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and San Juan, Puerto Rico Mayor Carmen Cruz, as well as actors Danny Glover and Susan Sarandon.
