Bernie Sanders Picking up Trash at His Local Park

Many of you will know Bernie Sanders as the US Senator who ran for President in 2016 and 2020 for the Democratic party. He has always advocated for free health care, raising the minimum wage, and generally wants to help the average Joe instead of supporting the rich. Because of this, he has a huge following of people who are rooting for him. In this photograph, we see a much younger Bernie Sanders picking up trash from his local park in Burlington, Vermont, after he won the election and became mayor in 1981. It’s rare to see photographs of politicians literally getting down and dirty to help their community.
