Candidate for the Democratic Party's presidential nominee Bernie Sanders hit the streets of the San Francisco today ahead of tomorrow's California primary vote. He first strolled through Chinatown with the Sanders-endorsed Jane Kim, before heading to the Mission where he spoke at the 24th Street City College campus.

There he spoke of climate change, health care, pay equity and "corporate media" (you can watch his entire speech online).

Sanders was set to arrive at a big rally across town at Crissy Field this afternoon as well, where a concert kicked off at 3:30 p.m. featuring Fishbone and Dave Matthews.
Sanders wasn't the only figure of note in the Bay Area today — former president Bill Clinton stumped for his wife across the Bay in Oakland earlier.

Whether or not Sanders's visit to San Francisco will make any difference in tomorrow's race is anyone's guess. Statistics website Five Thirty Eight has his chances of winning California at 14 percent.
No word on if he swung by any coffee shops while in the neighborhood.
