Shreveport, Louisiana, will be a key stop on Bernie Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here” tour on June 21, 2025. The event is scheduled to take place at the Municipal Auditorium located at 705 Grand Ave. The doors will open at 10:30 a.m., followed by live music performed by Sweet Crude starting at 12 p.m. The speaking program featuring Bernie Sanders will commence at 1 p.m.

Free parking will be available at the venue for all attendees. However, it is important to note that certain unspecified items will not be permitted inside the Municipal Auditorium.

Event Significance and Attendance

The “Fighting Oligarchy” tour has been gaining traction as it travels across the country, drawing substantial crowds since its launch in February. The tour aims to engage communities on pressing issues concerning corporate interests and wealth inequality. With Sanders recognized for his progressive views, his events have particularly resonated with younger Americans, helping to cultivate a loyal following.

Community Context

Shreveport, situated in Caddo Parish, is noteworthy as one of the few blue parishes in Louisiana, a state largely dominated by Republican representation. The area where the event will occur is now represented by Democratic Representative Cleo Fields due to a newly established majority minority district.

In reporting on the tour, Bryan Metzgar indicated that Shreveport is among several scheduled stops, including cities in Texas and Oklahoma. Following the Shreveport event, Sanders will continue on to Amarillo and Fort Worth, Texas.

Bernie Sanders’ History

Bernie Sanders has a long history in politics, having pursued the Democratic presidential nomination multiple times. His journey began as a carpenter and documentary filmmaker before he was elected Mayor of Burlington, Vermont, in 1981. Throughout his political career, Sanders has consistently championed issues related to income inequality and corporate influence in politics, making the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour a natural extension of his advocacy.

Event Attendance and RSVP

Those interested in attending the Shreveport event can RSVP for free through the tour’s official website, which is also offering live streaming of the events. This provides an opportunity for individuals who may not be able to attend in person to engage with the content being presented.

As the date approaches, community members are encouraged to participate in what promises to be an engaging event that tackles pivotal issues within today’s socio-political landscape. The “Fighting Oligarchy” tour is expected to provide a platform for discussions around the challenges and solutions to the corporate grip on politics and the growing divide in wealth within the United States.
