Guess who's coming to Missoula? Yep, it's U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, and he's bringing with him a whole lot of discussions on economic inequality and corporate influence. He'll be headlining his 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour at the University of Montana’s Adams Center on April 16, 2025. For those of you who want to be a part of this big event, the doors swing open at 10:30 AM MDT, with the action kicking off at 1:00 PM MDT.
Joining Sanders on stage will be Sara Nelson, the president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA. Together, they're all set to spark conversations aimed at challenging the power structures benefiting the few at the expense of the many. If you're feeling the energy, remember, admission's free! But, if you're like me and want to make sure you’ve got a spot, it's a good idea to RSVP on the official campaign website.
This isn’t Sanders' first rodeo in Missoula. He has a history here, making waves back in 2016 during his presidential run and again in 2018 when he was rallying support for Rob Quist in the congressional race. What makes this visit interesting is the continuity; Sanders has consistently returned to engage with the local community, pushing forward his agenda of reducing corporate influence in politics.
For all you folks planning on going, there are a few security measures you should know about—leave your bags, signs, and firearms at home. As for parking, the campus has spots for you; lots P, Z, M, and M1 are recommended, but do remember there's a fee.
This event follows other town halls across the country where Sanders and his allies have been amplifying voices that call for grassroots organizing against corporate interests. The vibe is all about returning power to the people, protecting democracy, and fighting economic disparities that seem to create more divisions than growth.
So there you have it, a chance to be part of a conversation that seeks real change. Whether you're a long-time fan of Bernie or just curious about what he has to say, this is your chance to hear directly about the issues that matter and the solutions proposed by one of America's most notable political figures. Will you be there?
