This spring, the battle against corporate greed is going nationwide. Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have launched their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour—an electrifying movement aimed at dismantling the corrupt grip that billionaires and corporations have on American democracy.
The message is clear: our democracy is not for sale.
With the 2026 midterms looming and political momentum building across grassroots movements, this tour has become a rallying cry for everyday Americans demanding economic justice, healthcare reform, climate action, and a political system that represents people—not profit.
🚍 A Tour for the People
So far, the tour has made high-impact stops in cities like Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, with crowds swelling into the tens of thousands. These aren’t just political rallies—they’re massive gatherings of solidarity. People are showing up not for soundbites, but for substance.
Speeches from Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez have ignited standing ovations, focusing on:
- Ending the influence of dark money and Super PACs
- Taxing the ultra-wealthy and closing corporate loopholes
- Guaranteeing healthcare as a human right through Medicare for All
- Combatting climate change through a Green New Deal
- Protecting voting rights and restoring democracy to the people
A Counterpunch to the Billionaire Class
Sanders didn’t hold back in Denver, declaring:
“This country is not supposed to be an oligarchy. It’s supposed to be a democracy—of the people, by the people, and for the people. We are going to take our country back.”
Ocasio-Cortez echoed the sentiment in L.A., saying:
“We are done watching corporate lobbyists write the laws that govern our lives. If we want change, we have to demand it, organize for it, and vote for it.”
Their fiery rhetoric is matched by a detailed policy agenda that dares to imagine a fairer, more humane future. And the people are responding—loudly.
