Democratic presidential hopefuls are speaking today at the bipartisan Second Step Presidential Justice Forum being held Saturday at Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina.

The 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Center describes the event as focusing on “setting forth specific and articulable policy proposals with measurable results to be achieved by 2024.”

“With the landmark First Step Act passing in late 2018, we are calling upon all candidates to answer: what’s the ‘Second Step?’,” reads the event website.

On Saturday’s schedule are Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. John Delaney, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and former Vice President and current front-runner Joe Biden.

Here are the times:

Senator Kamala Harris announced that she would be skipping the forum after President Donald Trump was honored at an event that excluded all but seven students from Benedict College, a historically black college (HBCU).

Sunday will feature Senator Elizabeth Warren, former HUD Secretary Julian Castro, and soon-to-be former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.

Update: Senator Harris has agreed to participate after the sponsor that gave Trump the award was removed from the event.
