Bernie Sanders is the Democratic candidate currently competing with Hillary Clinton for the party's Presidential nomination, and his policies around racism and equality are attracting many left-leaning young voters.
His latest campaign video is absolutely incredible and was unveiled on Rolling Stone yesterday.
It features Erica Garner, daughter or Eric Garner, an African-American man who died from an asthma attack after being put in a chokehold by the police in 2014. His final words, 'I can't breathe' have become a powerful message against police brutality in the States.
Garner details the importance of her family and her young daughter, and is shown protesting at the location of her father's death every Tuesday and Thursday, which she has done ever since the incident.
In the video, Sanders is seen speaking powerfully about police violence: "It is not acceptable to me that we have seen young black men walk down streets in this country be beaten and be killed unjustly," Sanders says.
Garner has said she had full control over the video, and he didn't ask her to frame her story around his campaign.
It's powerful stuff. Take a look below.
