The crowd cheered for Senator Bernie Sanders as he spoke at his rally featuring Public Enemy Radio on Mar. 1 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Supporters gathered with Bernie attire, flags, signs and pins outside of the convention center, waiting to hear Sanders speak.
Attendees brought in a giant puppet of Senator Sanders and along with a banner where people can write down their thoughts.
Before the rally started, Dominguez Hills Press Chris Sanchez said, “I think I’m going to vote for Bernie because of the marijuana law he will pass.”
The rally started with a musical performance.
Towards the end of the performance, multiple supporters spoke out for Sanders, including comedian Sarah Silverman, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, and actor Dick Van Dyke.
Mijente co-founder Marisa Franco said on stage, “It matters because if you don’t know where you’re from, then you don’t know where you’re at. And if you don’t know where you’re at, you missed history when it’s your turn to make it.”
Sanders and his wife arrived on stage after Franco spoke, thanked the speakers and spoke to his supporters.
Senator Sanders bet on winning the California election on Tuesday and covered several things he’ll do as president, including healthcare for all, raising the federal minimum wage to 15 dollars an hour, and tuition-free college for students.
“In November of 2020, Donald Trump is gonna learn that we are a democracy, not an autocracy, because we will throw him out of office,” Senator Sanders said.
Senator Sanders concluded his rally speech and invited Public Enemy Radio to perform on stage.
