The grassroots progressive group MoveOn will host a 2020 candidate forum on June 1 in San Francisco that will be streamed to its vast network of members across the country
.
It’s the first time that the activist group has hosted a forum of this kind, an in-person event featuring multiple candidates, according to MoveOn officials.Five Democratic primary candidates — Julián Castro, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand , Sen. Kamala Harris , Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren — have confirmed their attendance.
Candidates will be on stage individually to pitch “one big idea” that’s central to their candidacy and moderators will ask follow-up questions for about 20 minutes. “We want to give them the opportunity to each lay out one idea that can inspire voters and transform the country,” Ilya Sheyman, executive director of MoveOn.org Political Action told POLITICO. “It’s what we want this primary to be about; this can’t be a horse race, this can’t solely be about how to defeat Donald Trump. That’s important, but it’s insufficient without laying out a visionary agenda that will inspire voters to go to the polls.
