We need you to stand up and fight for justice, to fight for economic justice, social justice, and racial justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAt one point, after referencing the \u201cPresident of the United States,\u201d the audience responded with boos. \u201cI agree,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe longtime politician went on to criticize President Donald Trump\u2019s stance on climate change. \u201c[Trump] thinks that climate change is a hoax. He\u2019s dangerously wrong,\u201d the senator said. \u201cAnd you and I are going to have to stand up to the fossil fuel industry and tell them to stop destroying this planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSanders also addressed wealth inequality and corporate power. \u201cWe have an economy today that is working very well for the billionaire class, but not for working families,\u201d he said, calling for action against insurance and pharmaceutical companies. \u201cHealthcare is a human right,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe senator praised Clairo for using her platform to advocate for critical issues. \u201cI\u2019m here because Clairo has used her prominence to fight for women\u2019s rights, to try to end the terrible, brutal war in Gaza, where thousands of women and children are being killed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tLater that evening, Sanders <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BernieSanders\/status\/1911268414456549619\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">reflected on his appearance<\/a> through X, posting a photo from the stage. \u201cThank you, Coachella. I enjoyed introducing the great @clairo tonight,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThese are tough times. The younger generation has to help lead in the fight to combat climate change, protect women\u2019s rights, and build an economy that works for all, not just the few.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tEarlier in the day, Sanders appeared at Los Angeles\u2019s Gloria Molina Grand Park as part of his ongoing \u201cFighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here\u201d tour alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The event also featured including Neil Young, Joan Baez and Maggie Rogers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe Sanders-AOC tour has drawn thousands at rallies across Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Utah. At a March 7 stop in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Sanders invited musician Laura Jane Grace to the stage to perform a provocative new song titled \u201cYour God (God\u2019s D\u2014),\u201d which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/music-news\/bernie-sanders-la-fighting-oligarchy-rally-neil-young-baez-1235944154\/\">sparked controversy online<\/a> for its profane lyrics and religious themes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/music-news\/bernie-sanders-coachella-2025-clairo-1235945316\/\">Aller \u00e0 la source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
