On March 21, 2025, Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a “Fighting Oligarchy” rally at Denver’s Civic Center Park. The event attracted an estimated 30,000 to 34,000 attendees, who gathered to hear discussions on combating oligarchy and advocating for the working class.
The rally featured speeches from both Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, emphasizing the need to address economic inequality and challenge powerful corporate interests. Attendees engaged enthusiastically, with some even climbing trees for a better view.
This event was part of a broader tour, with earlier stops in Greeley, Colorado, and plans for additional rallies across the country. The tour aims to mobilize citizens against perceived threats to democratic principles and promote progressive policies.
