PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Senator Bernie Sanders will speak on the first night of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on July 25th.
The former candidate is on a partial list of speakers convention organizers released today.
Sanders will appear with first lady Michelle Obama on Convention Monday.
On Tuesday, former president and potential "first spouse" Bill Clinton will address the Convention, joined by "Mothers of the Movement," including the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown and other victims that sparked the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
President Obama and Vice President Biden take the stage Wednesday and, following tradition, Hillary Clinton will speak on the final night of the Convention, Thursday.
Clinton has also reserved Independence Mall for an event Friday, after the convention. Protesters have a full agenda for the week, as well.
In addition to the Sanders supporters, permits have been given to gun control advocates, Green Party members, Nuns on the Bus, the Philadelphia teachers union and the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church.
