DENVER, CO – Thousands are expected to attend a rally in Denver’s Civic Center Park on Friday, featuring Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The event, which is not formally permitted but protected under the First Amendment as an assembly, is anticipated to draw 20,000 attendees. Denver city officials are coordinating with various departments to ensure public safety and logistical support for the large crowd.
The rally, scheduled from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., will see Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez criticizing President Trump, Elon Musk, and what they term the “billionaire oligarchs” influencing Washington D.C. Sanders has stated the rally is part of a nationwide effort to engage with citizens concerned about the current political climate. He specifically criticized the perceived shift towards an oligarchy and authoritarianism.
Organizers request attendees arrive early, avoid bringing bags or signs, and utilize ride-sharing services due to limited parking. The event is expected to conclude with a cleanup by 8:30 p.m. The rally coincides with ongoing protests in the Denver metro area related to the recent ICE arrest of an immigrant rights activist.
