As he made a pit stop at the biggest music festival on Saturday, US senator Bernie Sanders drew a sizable crowd to his top cameo performance.
Screaming fans rushed over to see the politician’s unannounced speech, which came after Charli XCX’s blockbuster set at a nearby stage.
At the major California desert double weekend, which officially marks the start of the music festival season, Sanders said, “This country faces some very difficult challenges and the future of what happens to America depends on your generation.”
You have the option of refusing to participate or to ignore what transpires, but you do so at your own risk. You must stand up and fight for social justice, racial justice, and economic justice.

A rally Sanders and Democratic representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held earlier that day that included musicians like Joan Baez, Maggie Rogers, and Neil Young, was held before their own “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, which organizers claimed attracted 36, 000 people.
Sanders urged attendees to stand up for US President Donald Trump’s administration and billionaires at Coachella while under a full moon.
Before the crowd’s boos quickly drowned out Trump’s name, Sanders said, “Now we have a president of the United States.”
Sanders continued, “I agree.” He believes that climate change is a hoax. You and I will have to speak up against the fossil fuel industry and demand that they stop destroying this planet because he is dangerously incorrect.
“Exactly the move,” the phrase says.
Sanders thanked Clairo for using her platform to support social justice causes and introduced her to the stage.
He said, “I’m here because Clairo has used her prominence to fight for women’s rights and to end the bloody, brutal war in Gaza, where thousands of women and children are being murdered.” So I want to thank Clairo for her excellent work as well as her band.
Coachella, I appreciate it.
Tonight, I had a great time introducing the great @clairo.
These are challenging times.

I love Bernie Sanders, the message was so popular! as the self-described socialist senator who caucuses with Democrats wrapped up his speech screamed one festivalgoer.
Samara Guillory, age 21, was one of the musicians who hurriedly to Sanders’ stage.
Senator Sanders’ level of competence, according to Guillory, “was very important,” Guillory told AFP. We are the new generation and America’s future.
“Coming here, talking to us, spreading awareness,” to be honest, “I think this was exactly the move.”
