The event will take place on Oct. 24 in Des Moines, Iowa. 

LULAC announced the participation of Sanders, Castro and Gabbard in a Wednesday statement and announced Thursday that O’Rourke would also participate.  

LULAC will also be working to identify and register Hispanic voters in the state to increase turnout for the Iowa caucuses and general election, the statement said.
