In a stunning twist at Coachella, fans were treated to an unexpected appearance by Bernie Sanders just before Clairo took the stage. The Vermont Senator, fresh from an anti-oligarchy rally, seized the moment to urge festival-goers to take a stand against the current injustices plaguing America.

Introduced by Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost, who referred to Sanders as "one of the best members" of Congress, the senator quickly captivated the audience. He emphasized the vital role of young people in shaping the future of the nation, warning that inaction could lead to dire consequences. "We need you to stand up and fight for justice—economic, racial, and social justice," he declared passionately.

Sanders didn't hold back as he criticized the Trump administration and its allies, eliciting boos from the crowd simply by mentioning the former president's name. "He thinks that climate change is a hoax. He is dangerously wrong," Sanders rallied, calling for a movement to challenge the fossil fuel industry and protect the planet.

Pivoting to healthcare and economic opportunities, Sanders also praised Clairo's commitment to social causes, specifically her advocacy for women's rights and her voice against the violence in Gaza. "Clairo has used her prominence to fight for important issues," he stated, expressing gratitude for her activism.

Earlier in the day, Sanders joined Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for a concert dubbed "Bernie-chella," featuring iconic artists like Neil Young and Joan Baez, further solidifying his commitment to activism through music.

Clairo, a known supporter of Sanders, has been vocal against Trump since the 2016 election, famously tweeting: "Witchcraft on Trump ASAP!" on the day of his inauguration. Her passion for social justice was evident in her own words as she expressed frustration over political decisions impacting individual rights.

As Coachella continues to celebrate creativity and music, discussions on social issues have become central to the festival, evidenced by the panel hosted by Global Inheritance, featuring voices like Justin Jones and Maxwell Frost, who shared their experiences in grassroots activism.
