Key Highlights:
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have launched their highly anticipated “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, aimed at confronting the growing influence of the ultra-wealthy in American politics. This powerful political movement is making its way across the country, rallying citizens to challenge the deep-rooted control that billionaires have over government policies, elections, and the future of the nation. As part of their ongoing efforts, they have drawn significant support from influential musical artists, cultural icons, and political leaders, making these rallies a unique fusion of activism and entertainment.
The next stop for the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour is Los Angeles, where Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez will take to the stage at the Gloria Molina Grand Park on April 12. The rally promises to be an unforgettable event, blending passionate political discourse with soul-stirring musical performances. The event, which is free to attend with sign-up via Sanders’ website, will feature a stellar lineup of musicians, including Neil Young, Joan Baez, Maggie Rogers, and Jeff Rosenstock.
The Need for the “Fighting Oligarchy” Tour
The tour is a direct response to the growing dominance of the ultra-wealthy in the political arena. Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez have been vocal advocates for the American people, calling out the increasing influence of billionaires in Washington, D.C., and their ability to buy elections and sway policy decisions. Through this tour, they aim to amplify the voices of everyday Americans who feel marginalized by the power of the wealthiest citizens.
In his comments about the purpose of the tour, Sanders emphasized, “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.”
A Star-Powered Rally in Los Angeles
The Los Angeles rally on April 12 will feature some of the most influential figures in both the political and music worlds. In addition to Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, political leaders such as Representatives Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) will speak at the event, offering their support for Sanders’ message and addressing the need for structural change within the American political system.
Musically, the Los Angeles rally will be electrified by the presence of legendary musicians like Neil Young and Joan Baez. The inclusion of these iconic performers underscores the rally’s cultural significance, with music and activism joining forces to rally the crowd. These artists have long been known for their commitment to social justice, making them natural allies in Sanders’ fight against the influence of oligarchs.
Jeff Rosenstock, another performer at the rally, posted on his social media, expressing his excitement about being a part of the event. “All weed jokes aside, it has been easy to feel powerless and alone since the election, but seeing the massive crowds of people who are also tired of this bullshit attending these events has filled my heart with hope,” Rosenstock shared.
The Impact of the Tour So Far

The tour has already made stops in Western cities such as Las Vegas, Tucson, Denver, and Tempe, and more rallies are scheduled for cities in California, Idaho, and Montana. By visiting both Democrat and Republican-held districts, Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are making a statement that this fight transcends party lines.
