Neil Young, Joan Baez to Perform at Rally for Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez in LA

Neil Young and Joan Baez are set to perform at the 'Fighting Oligarchy' rally organized by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on April 12 at Los Angeles' Gloria Molina Grand Park. The event aims to address the influence of corporate interests in politics, with additional performances by Maggie Rogers, Indigo De Souza, Jeff Rosenstock, and others. Admission is free through Sanders' website, and the rally marks a significant shift to a blue state after previous events in predominantly Republican areas. Young, a vocal critic of Donald Trump, expressed concerns about potential repercussions for his comments on the former president, highlighting issues of freedom of speech. The rally is part of a broader tour intended to engage communities in discussions about combating oligarchy in American politics. Sanders has emphasized the importance of this tour in rallying support against the control of the political system by billionaires.
