Senator Bernie Sanders took the stage at Coachella in California on Saturday night in a bid to galvanize festivalgoers to stand up to Donald Trump‘s policies.
The 83-year-old addressed the crowd ahead of introducing singer and activist Clairo.
Before his address, Sanders, the U.S. Senator for Vermont, was at a rally in Los Angeles as part of a wider speaking tour aimed at holding the Trump administration to account.
“This country faces some very difficult challenges, and the future of what happens to America is dependent upon your generation,” he said to a cheering crowd.
“We need you to stand up to fight for justice, to fight for economic justice, social justice and racial justice,” he continued.
At the mention of Trump’s name the crowd began to boo, to which Sanders responded, “I agree.”
