Bernie Sanders and Ilhan Omar Rally in Minneapolis
WATCH LIVE: Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar Set to Rally Forces in Minneapolis
Sanders's surging campaign was forced to move today's rally from the Northrup Arena, which only seats 2,700 to Williams Arena, which can hold more than 14,000
Nov 03, 2019
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) are set to rally thousands of supporters at Williams Arena on the University of Minnesota campus later today.
Sanders's surging campaign was forced to move today's rally from the Northrup Arena, which only seats 2,700 to Williams Arena, which can hold more than 14,000.
Prince's longtime band, the New Power Generation (NPG) will perform. The group toured and recorded with Prince for over two decades.
Minnesota's primary on Super Tuesday -- one month after the Iowa caucuses -- ends the state's caucus nominating system which was used for the last time in 2016.
Sanders easily defeated Hillary Clinton by a margin of 61.6% to 38.4% in his 2016 Minnesota caucus victory.
Representative Omar of Minneapolis endorsed Sanders in October, breaking from the rest of the state's Democratic congressional delegation, which supports U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. CT for the 6 p.m. CT (GMT-6) event.

An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, It’s been nearly 30 years since I co-founded Common Dreams with my late wife, Lina Newhouser. We had the radical notion that journalism should serve the public good, not corporate profits. It was clear to us from the outset what it would take to build such a project. No paid advertisements. No corporate sponsors. No millionaire publisher telling us what to think or do. Many people said we wouldn't last a year, but we proved those doubters wrong. Together with a tremendous team of journalists and dedicated staff, we built an independent media outlet free from the constraints of profits and corporate control. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. To ignite change for the common good. Building Common Dreams was not easy. Our survival was never guaranteed. When you take on the most powerful forces—Wall Street greed, fossil fuel industry destruction, Big Tech lobbyists, and uber-rich oligarchs who have spent billions upon billions rigging the economy and democracy in their favor—the only bulwark you have is supporters who believe in your work. But here’s the urgent message from me today. It's never been this bad out there. And it's never been this hard to keep us going. At the very moment Common Dreams is most needed, the threats we face are intensifying. We need your support now more than ever. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. When everyone does the little they can afford, we are strong. But if that support retreats or dries up, so do we. Will you donate now to make sure Common Dreams not only survives but thrives? —Craig Brown, Co-founder |
