Bernie Sanders begins his speech on foreign policy at #saisevents

WATCH: webcast.jhu.edu/Mediasite/Play…
Bernie speaking the truth: Many people don't believe democracy can work for them. The Donald Trump's and demagogues like him exploit their fears to gain power. It's our job to organize and mobilize people around the idea that together, democracy is the only way forward.
"What we are seeing now in the world is the rise of a new authoritarian axis." - @BernieSanders lays out how they all work "Many of these leaders are connected to multi-billionaire oligarchs who see the world as their economic plaything"
We need a global movement that doesn't seek to RETURN to the status quo, but seeks to unite people around a world that works for all
"We have a billionaire president who acquired his wealth through illegal means and now as President has blatantly embedded his economic interests into the policies of government" #SandersSAIS
"Whether it's the Koch brothers, or [fossil fuel rich nations], or giant corporations supporting think tanks, the theme is the same: powerful special interests use their wealth to influence government for their own selfish interests" #SandersSAIS
"Just defending the failed status quo, just wanting to go back to what it used to be, is not good enough, in fact we need to recognize what we face today is a product of the failed status quo." - @SenSanders #SandersSAIS
"We must... reconceptualize a global order based on human solidarity... especially with the threat of climate change, we are going to survive by working together, or we're going to go down by the kinds of devisions that the authoritarians are trying to create" - @SenSanders
