Bernie said that only 20,000 were allowed into Queensbridge Park, so more than that number showed up since some were turned away. Very inspiring speakers. Yes, of course, get rid of Trump, but after that, correct rising income inequality, corporate money in politics, prison-industrial system, a broken health care and pharmaceutical system, underfunded public education, lack of affordable housing, and student and consumer debt.
Did not see this event, but the one I attended was wonderful.
