Bernie Sanders and AOC are in Colorado for rallies that are being held in two locations on Friday afternoon. The events are part of "Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here with Bernie Sanders," a national campaign in which the Vermont senator and the New York representative organize discussions across the United States about the future of the country.
The pair's first stop in Colorado was in Greeley, at the Bank of Colorado Arena at the University of Northern Colorado. Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are now in Denver to hold another event at Civic Center Park.
Bernie Sanders earlier today in Greeley CO-
"Greeley has a population of 108,000.
11,300 of those Coloradans joined our town hall this afternoon.
This is the OVERFLOW crowd in Greeley, Colorado (see pic below).
Tonight, we expect even bigger crowds in Denver.
The American people are saying NO to authoritarianism and oligarchy."
Bernie Sanders last night in Tempe Arizona - "Thank you the 15,000 people who came out in Tempe, Arizona tonight for our Fighting Oligarchy tour.
In fact, not only was the arena filled, but the overflow crowd was also at capacity.
Americans will not hand their democracy over to authoritarianism."
Thanks Bernie and AOC — we needed that!
Its always refreshing to see Bernie and AOC, more so in these trying times, where most of the Democratic party seems to be paralyzed with … fear? Hopefully, these rallies will inspire other Democratic leaders to take a bolder stance against the trump regime and energize Democrats, Independents and organizations to fight back in unison. As they say, there is strength in numbers.
What else should Democratic leaders be doing going forward? Your thoughts.
