Excerpt:

Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch were the leading speakers at the event. They called for opposition to Trump’s efforts, and sought greater leadership from state politicians on the issue of climate change.

“Our message today is simple: we will fight Donald Trump, who thinks climate change is a hoax,” Sanders told a visibly enthusiastic throng that overflowed the lawn of the Statehouse

“Our job today, tomorrow and every day is to transform our energy system away from fossil fuels to energy efficiency and sustainable energy,” Sanders said. “Our job is to create millions of new jobs in wind, solar, geothermal and other clean technologies.”

“Our fight is for clean energy,” he said, “our fight is for democracy, our fight is for a government that represents all of us, and not just the one percent!”

“Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!” the crowd responded. “Give ‘em hell, Bernie!” they shouted.
