Jason,
We have been hitting the road hard these last few days to connect with working people who have been abandoned by their Republican members of Congress.
Bernie and I held five rallies across three states in three days and were joined by 86,847 people of all walks of life.
We started the tour off in Las Vegas, Nevada. We rallied with 3,287 Nevadans against the oligarchy in this country, where we were joined by Rep. Steven Horsford, a former member of the Culinary Workers Union.
Then we went to Tempe, Arizona where even the overflow section had an overflow section! 15,000 folks joined us to fight for our future.
The next stop on the tour was Greeley, Colorado, where GOP Congressman Gabe Evans has refused to hold a town hall. Greeley has a population of 108,000 — and 11,300 of those Coloradans took time to join us on Friday.
Then it was onto Denver, Colorado where we were joined by 34,000 folks who were ready to roll up their sleeves! It was Bernie's biggest rally ever and bigger than any Trump has ever had in Denver.
And finally the last stop was Tucson, Arizona. On a beautiful Saturday, 23,260 people turned out — making it the largest political rally in Arizona history. We were joined by Rep. Greg Casar, the Chair of the House Progressive Caucus.
In spite of what Trump wants you to believe, we are not powerless. All over this country, in both Democratic and Republican districts, people are ready to fight back and defend our democracy. They deserve leaders who will stand with them.
Something special is happening. Together, we are building a movement for transformative politics in this country that is rooted in social, economic, racial, and environmental justice.
These town halls have been possible because of thousands of people chipping in what they can, without a dime of corporate or lobbyist money.
Every donation helps us mobilize, organize, and fight for the working class in the places that need it most.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
