Bernie Sanders Eyeing Shreveport for “Fighting Oligarchy” Tour Stop – Details Emerging Soon

According to new reports, the most contentious independent politician in America is planning a stop in Shreveport as part of his speaking tour. Senator Bernie Sanders has been traveling across the country with his "Fighting Oligarchy" political rally series, speaking out against President Trump and his allies. The reporting is still early, but the buzz around Bernie is undeniable.

Bernie Takes His Message Deep Into Speaker Johnson's Backyard

Starting not too soon after Donald Trump's presidential election win in 2024, the "Fighting Oligarchy" tour has traveled to over a dozen American cities, giving town-hall style speeches to local communities.

Now Bernie dives deep into enemy territory as the Saturday, June 21st stop in Shreveport will be in the heart of President Trump's close ally and current speaker of the house, Mike Johnson.

Reporting came early from Bryan Metzger of Business Insider, who gave details of the next 3 dates of the tour, including the Shreveport stop. The event will be taking place at the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium on June 21st at 1 pm.

Locals on Bernie Sanders' mailing list have told K94.5 that they have been invited via the Friends of Bernie PA,C and some have been asked to come on as volunteer workers.

How Does One "Fight" Oligarchy and When Will Bernie Be In Shreveport?

The "Fighting Oligarchy" name is more than just a name for Senator Sanders; it's much more real. Oligarchy is defined by Merriam-Webster as a "government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes." Sanders and associates believe the current Presidential administration is a modern-day oligarchy, pointing to moments like President Trump's gift from Qatar or Elon Musk's alleged bribery in a Wisconsin election.

"Where We Go From Here" is a sort of tagline for the tour, because local constituents are welcome to ask the Senator about whatever political questions might be eating away at them. The events are also live-streamed online, so those who can't make it will still be able to hear the speech.

A few of the stops on the tour have featured live music, and when more details emerge, there might be a concert
