Fighting Oligarchy: The Significance of the L.A. Rally
Last weekend, a crowd 36,000 strong flocked to downtown Los Angeles, filling Gloria Molina Grand Park, surrounding Los Angeles City Hall, and stretching a half mile down Spring Street.
From all around Southern California they came to hear and to cheer Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and to amplify the message that America needs a government that fights for its people, and not its billionaires.
This stop on the Fighting Oligarchy tour was the largest Sanders or AOC rally, ever, anywhere.
We’ll recap, play some highlights, and contextualize the momentous event on this episode of WNLA.
