BETHLEHEM, Pa. \u2014 Bernie Sanders is coming to Bethlehem.<\/p>\n

The 83-year-old Vermont senator is bringing his \u201cFighting Oligarchy\u201d tour to the Stabler Athletic & Convocation Center at Lehigh University.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll speak Saturday, May 3, with doors opening at 10:30 a.m. and the program starting at 1 p.m., according to his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Joining Sanders and also speaking during the program will be U.S. Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-Pa. Deluzio represents Pennsylvania\u2019s 17th Congressional District in western Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

The Associated Press has described Sanders, an independent senator, and his \u201cFighting Oligarchy\u201d crusade like this:<\/p>\n

\u201cAt 83 years old, Sanders is not running for president again. But the stooped and silver-haired democratic socialist has emerged as a leader of the resistance to Donald Trump\u2019s second presidency. In tearing into Trump\u2019s seizure of power and warning about the consequences of firing tens of thousands of government workers, Sanders is bucking the wishes of those who want Democrats to focus on the price of eggs or \u201croll over and play dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor now, at least, Sanders stands alone as the only elected progressive willing to mount a national campaign to harness the fear and anger of the sprawling anti-Trump movement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanders\u2019 website indicates parking is free for the Stabler event and registration is required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BETHLEHEM, Pa. \u2014 Bernie Sanders is coming to Bethlehem.
