WATCH LIVE: Sanders, AOC 'Fighting Oligarchy' Event in Montana
The event that will cap a five-day sprint across western states that have drawn record crowds, including in deep-red regions won by President Donald Trump.
Common Dreams Staff
Apr 16, 2025
Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York continued their 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour on Wednesday with a final stop in Missoula, Montana—an event that will cap a five-day sprint across western states that have drawn record crowds and invigorated those sickened by President Donald Trump's authoritarian assault on democracy, human rights, civil liberties, and the nation's working people.
Wednesday's event is set to kick off at 3:00 pm eastern (1:00 pm local time) on the campus of the University of Montana in Missoula.
Jacob Owens, a reporter with the local NBC News affiliate, said hundreds of people were already lined up for the event as of mid-morning, with some arriving as early as 5:00 am to make sure they were able to get into the event. As of this writing, over 6,000 people were already in attendance.

FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY WITH BERNIE AND AOC: MONTANA
www.youtube.com
An Unconstitutional Rampage
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next.
It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk.
Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support.
