"We are going to need a political party that has the guts to stand with working families, has the guts to take on the big money interests who control, to a large degree, our economic and political life," Sanders said, describing this moment in American history as "perilous."
Ellison echoed Sanders' statement in his own address.
"If there was ever a moment when people who love this country and the people in it need to step up and do everything they can to improve the lives of their fellow Americans, that moment is right now," he told the crowd, before launching a full-on anti-Trump rant.
"We need a 3,007-county strategy," Ellison announced as Sanders and AFT President Randi Weingarten stood beside him. "We need a town strategy. We need a precinct strategy. The resources need to be moved down closer to the voter... if you got same-day registration in Minnesota, it's because the state says so. If you've got a lifetime ban on voting for felons, like they do in Florida, it's because the state says so."
