A Crowd of Thousands at Bernie Sanders' 'A Future to Believe In' Rally
Thousands turned out to see the Democratic presidential candidate speak at Santa Monica High School in Santa Monica, Calif. Truthdig columnist Bill Blum attended the event and captured photos and videos.
He spent over an hour discussing climate change, campaign finance reform, health care, education and the current political atmosphere.
The California primary is only eight days away, and Bernie Sanders isnt slowing down.
If anything, the 74-year-old Vermont Senator is picking up the pace as he tours California this week, stopping at as many as three cities a day for rallies and events.
On Monday night, Sanders held a rally on the football field of Santa Monica High School in Santa Monica, Calif. The Sanders campaign estimated a turnout of 10,000 peopleand the numbers may have swelled to more than that, considering the vast numbers of people who turned up but couldnt fit inside the football field. Sanders told ABC News that he hopes to speak with 200,000 Californians at rallies statewide.
