Bernie Sanders’ Fighting Oligarchy Tour Announces New Stops in Western U.S. 

Neil Young, Maggie Rogers, and Joan Baez to Headline Los Angeles Rally

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today announced new stops on the fourth swing of his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, which kicks off next weekend. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) will join the senator for all three California events.

The first rally, in L.A.’s Grand Park, will feature performances by Neil Young, Maggie Rogers, Joan Baez, Indigo de Souza, Jeff Rosenstock, The Red Pears, and the Raise Gospel Choir. Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) will also make special appearances.

From Los Angeles, Bernie will take off on a five-day tour across four states, touching down in Utah, Idaho, and Montana, where he will be joined by International President of AFA-CWA Sara Nelson.

The swing specifically targets contested and Republican-held districts, making stops in areas where Democrats rarely campaign.

Sanders said: “The American people, whether they are Democrats, Republicans or Independents, do not want billionaires to control our government or buy our elections. They do not want Republicans to decimate Social Security and the Veterans Administration.  They do not want huge tax breaks for the wealthiest people in the country paid for by massive cuts to Medicaid and other programs that working families rely on. That is why I will be visiting Republican-held districts all over the Western United States.  When we are organized and fight back, we can defeat oligarchy.”To date, the Fighting Oligarchy tour has drawn 107,981 people across seven states. The most recent leg of the tour attracted historic crowds, setting the record for biggest-ever political rally in Arizona and bringing more than 34,000 people out in Denver, Colorado — the biggest crowd Sanders has ever attracted. Livestreams of the tour have been watched more than 5 million times.
