Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) made a surprise appearance at the California music festival Coachella on Saturday night. “The country faces some very difficult challenges, and the future of what happens to America is dependent upon your generation. Now you can turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but if you do that, you do it at your own peril. We need you to stand up to fight for justice,” Sanders said, drawing cheers from the crowd.
Sanders called on the younger generation to fight for economic, social and racial justice. “Now, we got a president of the United States,” Sanders began. The crowd booed at the mention of Trump. “I agree,” the Vermont senator replied. Sanders later added that the U.S. economy today is working only for the billionaire class. “We need you to help us to create an economy that works well for everybody, not just the 1 percent,” he said.

Thank you, Coachella.
I enjoyed introducing the great @clairo tonight.
These are tough times.
The younger generation has to help lead in the fight to combat climate change, protect women’s rights, and build an economy that works for all, not just the few. pic.twitter.com/8sGvKAuNYY
