We need you to stand up and fight for justice, to fight for economic justice, social justice, and racial justice.”
When he first mentioned the “President of the United States,” the crowd started booing, to which he responded, “I agree.”
“[Trump] thinks that climate change is a hoax. He’s dangerously wrong,” Sanders warned. “And you and I are going to have to stand up to the fossil fuel industry and tell them to stop destroying this planet.”
“We have an economy today that is working very well for the billionaire class, but not for working families,” he also said in his speech, adding it’s time “to stand up to the insurance companies and the drug companies and understand that healthcare is a human right.”
Before Clairo came out, Sanders said, “I’m here because Clairo has used her prominence to fight for women’s rights, to try to end the terrible, brutal war in Gaza, where thousands of women and children are being killed.”
