Bernie Sanders will make a stop in Fort Worth on his national tour.
The U.S. senator from Vermont is scheduled to hold his rally, “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here,” on June 22 at Dickies Arena.
As Democrats have grasped for how to respond to the Trump istration, Sanders, often accompanied by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has drawn massive crowds in cities across the country this year.
Sanders, 83, has used the rallies to address how wealth inequality in the U.S. is threatening democracy and working families. He launched the rally in February in Nebraska.
In Fort Worth, Sanders will be ed by U.S. Rep. Greg Casar, an Austin Democrat, and former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke, an El Paso Democrat. Musical guests include MSB Choir and Old 97’s.
The rally is free to attend, but organizers are encouraging guests to RSVP. The rally begins at 6 p.m., and doors open at 3:30 p.m. Paid parking is available on-site and in nearby garages.
