More than 3,500 viewing events were held concurrently across the U.S. to hear\u00a0<\/span>a stump speech by Sanders. The San Diego event changed venues three times as the RSVPs swelled, according to North Park resident Aaron Truax, who co-produced the event with Maia Tagami. They have no official ties with the candidate.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m\u00a0<\/span>thrilled by the enthusiasm I\u2019ve seen from San Diegans. Sanders\u2019 message resonates strongly here and in many communities across the country. He\u2019s the only presidential candidate who\u2019s taking an active stance against the billionaire class, and standing up for\u00a0<\/span>wage earners. He wants money out of politics, and he means it,\u201d Truax said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFurther,\u00a0<\/span>Sanders has always stood for equality, even before it was cool. He marched in the civil rights movement. He fought for marriage equality 40 years ago. He believes basic health care and education are fundamental rights. That\u2019s why he\u2019s loved. He\u2019s the champion\u00a0<\/span>for us, the 99%.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
