- Working families of Immokalee, Florida, have been fighting exploitation by the agricultural industry. "I will always fight. As long as I can see my children happy and well, I will continue fighting to provide them with the best. My children are the motor that drives my life,” Udelia says.
In 2008, Bernie traveled to Immokalee and met with migrant workers who were being ruthlessly exploited. He told the story to Congress in the hopes of improving their condition, and succeeded. But how many more Immokalees are there? How many fields or factories are there? We have to ask ourselves ‘who benefits from this exploitation?' And to understand that it is not only the Immokalee workers who suffer but every worker in America because that pushes us in a race to the bottom.
We appreciate the use of footage from the award winning documentary “Food Chains”, directed by Sanjay Rawal.

★ About Bernie:
Bernie Sanders is a Democratic candidate for President of the United States. He is serving his second term in the U.S. Senate after winning re-election in 2012 with 71 percent of the vote. Sanders previously served as mayor of Vermont’s largest city for eight years before defeating an incumbent Republican to be the sole congressperson for the state in the U.S. House of Representatives. He lives in Burlington, Vermont with his wife Jane and has four children and seven grandchildren.
Bernard “Bernie” Sanders was born in Brooklyn, New York, to immigrant parents and grew up in a small, rent-controlled apartment. His father came to the United States from Poland at the age of 17 without much money or a formal education. While attending the University of Chicago, a 20-year-old Sanders led students in a multi-week sit-in to oppose segregation in off-campus housing owned by the university as a Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) officer. In August of 1963, Sanders took an overnight bus as an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to hear Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech firsthand at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
After graduation, Bernie moved to Vermont where he worked as a carpenter and documentary filmmaker. In 1981, he was elected as mayor of Burlington as an Independent by a mere 10 votes, shocking the city’s political establishment by defeating a six-term, local machine mayor. In 1983, Bernie was re-elected by a 21 point margin with a record amount of voter turnout. Under his administration, the city made major strides in affordable housing, progressive taxation, environmental protection, child care, women’s rights, youth programs and the arts. In 1990, Sanders was elected to the House of Representatives as the first Independent in 40 years and joined the Democratic caucus. He was re-elected for eight terms, during which he voted against the deregulation of Wall Street, the Patriot Act, and the invasion of Iraq.
In 2006, Sanders defeated the richest man in Vermont to win a seat in the U.S. Senate as an Independent. Known as a “practical and successful legislator,” Sanders served as chairman of the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs where he authored and passed the most significant veteran health care reform bill in recent history. While in the Senate, Sanders has fought tirelessly for working class Americans against the influence of big money in politics. In 2010, he gave an eight-and-a-half hour filibuster-like speech on the Senate floor in opposition to extending Bush-era tax breaks for the wealthy. In 2015, the Democratic leadership tapped Bernie to serve as the caucus’ ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee.
Known for his consistency on the issues, Senator Sanders has supported the working class, women, communities of color, and the LGBT community throughout his career. He is an advocate for the environment, unions, and immigrants. He voted against Keystone XL, opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, wants to expand the Voting Rights Act, and pass the Equal Rights Amendment.

Mr. Sanders I'm Mexican and i just want to thank you for trying to help my people, we come to this country striving for a better life and future. Sadly, our home countries didnt offer us the tools and opportunities to better ourselves, that's why we are here. For a chance to change our lives. I thank you deeply, you understand us because you have seen how my people have to go through every singld day. To understand someone you gotta understand their struggles first. Muchas gracias señor Sanders! We all want is equality, justice and freedom! Thank you Sir! #Sanders2016 Viva Mr. Sanders from Chicago.
+El Pelon Chicago Cierto, lo peor de todos es que gobiernos corruptos y despiadados como lo es el PRI, hundió a México de una forma impresionante. Personalmente, yo no he vivido lo que es migrar ya que soy de Monterrey y aquí la situación es diferente. Aquí llegan personas de otros estados a emigrar como es el caso de uno de mis padres que llegó a Nuevo León porque en Zacatecas, había una sequía tremenda y pues no tuvo de otra mas que salir de su casa y buscar oportunidades de superación en otra parte
Es por eso que me interesa muchísimo la cultura mexicano-americana y me gustaría saber tu historia de cómo llegaste al país vecino y que ha sido lo más difícil que has tenido que pasar para llegar a donde estás.
+PowerRegio orale amigo cuando quieras te cuento mi historia. Saludos subscribete a mi canal
Yes im voting for mr #Sanders2016.... It is a time for a real change.. #latinosforberniesanders
El Pelon Chicago heard a lot about you. Keep motivating the younger generation especially the younger Raza . Saludos desde California707. Stay focused people. Bernie Sanders!✌🇺🇸🇲🇽
Mexico is a middle class country by global standards. It is also one of the fattest. Cheap Mexican labor has destroyed wages in the trades in Southern California.
Even if he doesn't win anything I will follow Bernie and his movement until I see an America I can finally be proud of
+TheBilliam Me too. I'll follow this movement until we do America the justice she deserves.
Just think about what you're saying. He's a socialist... You really want that for America?
+Andrew Bren. I've thought this through for a very long time. I've been a democratic socialist since high school 5 years ago. I only knew about Bernie as the senator from Vermont but now that I've seen his proposals and how much the middle class will save under universal health care, which I believe is a right anyway, made me support him. I would love to see my tax dollars go towards welfare programs where I'll actually see the benefits to society; like Pope Francis says our economy ought to have a humane goal. Plus I would hate myself if I supported any politician with a superpac. I cannot stand that money from the extremely wealthy basically decides the nominees that can even run. So yea I want America to have a politician that does not have his hands tied thanks to the favors they are expected to give to others like appointing Goldman Sachs employees to the role of Secretary of the Treasury etc
+keepreppindemcrips I think I'll just stay like the rest of my generation and gradually change this country for the better while you whine about progressives.
+keepreppindemcrips "Calls people scum without realizing how much of a piece of trash he is" America Land of the Rich and Powerful, Wanna destroy normal peoples lives, Like creating systems that cripple people with Debt, then stop on by and don't forget to out source!!!!!
As a Latino, im proud to be Supporting Bernie. He Genuinely Cares about all Races
as a first-generation american, as the son of two illegal immigrants whose sacrifices i owe everything to, this video brought me to tears.
i am tired of turning on a tv and watching the republican party dehumanize my family. i am tired of hearing the racist/xenophobic bigotry between the old, white, and privileged pass for a debate. and most of all, i am tired of seeing trump scape-goat my family for the decline of the middle class.
look, you have EVERY reason to be mad. american median income is bordering what it was 40 years ago while that of the top 1/10th of 1 percent's has sky-rocketed. but not only do you have every reason to be mad---YOU HAVE EVERY RESPONSIBILITY TO HOLD THE REAL CULPRITS ACCOUNTABLE.
pointing one's fingers at the ethnic and poor is the oldest trick in the book. hitler, mussolini, you name the fascist; history will name the genocide. now that a 2016 trump presidency is a very real possibility, you cannot afford to point your finger the wrong way.
WALL STREET's reckless, fraudulent behavior caused the american financial crisis, and unless we enforce stronger regulationary policy (reinstate glass-steagall, outlaw derivatives, volcker rule), more boom and bust cycles will follow.
bernie has waged this war against wall street for decades. hillary has taken their money and supported the very trade deals (NAFTA/TPP) that most exported american jobs.
the answer's clear.
Trump 2016.. U should also thank the hard working Americans for supplying you with free lunch at school, food stamps and WIC using our tax dollars
+Llama Llama you ARE aware that most immigrants pay taxes for said programs right? And most specifically that illegal aliens do not qualify for food stamps/WIC because they need a ss card right? Try educating yourself. #Drumpf20never
Ps: plenty of "americans" live of off my hard earned taxes too but you don't a president trying to eradicate those same programs that promote a certain level of laziness (which is exactly what you're insinuating)
+Maricruz Ramos of course illegal immigrants will use other people's ss numbers to get access to free programs as well as HUD, section 8...
+Maricruz Ramos Trump
Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump
U realize democrats are for abortion and gay marriage and MAJOR gun control... Blue lives matter
+Llama Llama Even most illegal aliens pay taxes (you're not allowed to file for any american amnesties etc unless you have about 5+ years of tax paying (which I agree with).
it's a possibility much like some claiming a false number of dependents or lying about their wages for government assistance and working under the table. HUD and section 8 being harder programs to "borrow" a SS due to the nature of their rules. This world is full of good/bad but it's not right to point fingers and start another round of McCarthyism in this day and age.
Bernardo Sanders es uno de los pocos políticos honestos.
Your Beautiful Bernie Sanders we are glad your here.
How could you not want this man to be your next US president?
I cry with every ad bernie makes. I will br proud to tell my kids that i fought for every worker in america.
There is no way I could ever support Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders.
um mmm you just might
+Walter Conner I doubt it now, with the immunity of that aide and whatnot, she'll be indicted before the Convention is my guess
+Walter Conner No
+PhiloAmericana Don't be like the PUMAs in 2008.
+Cash Barlow Hillary Clinton is an Incompetent Lying Bitch Who Belongs in Prison.
I love that they had the Spanish translation during Bernie's speeches as well. This is what a campaign ad should look like.
Very touching! Bernie 2016!
I want Bernie to be my president, but I am mexican, so I hope he is your president
I really hope he can change this country. We need someone like him.
Ahuevo Bernie ! Tienes todo mi pinche apoyo en las primarias y en la elección general!
Ahuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
Arre!! 🍺😎
+dylan5567 Simon y chido por ti carnal... NO TE OLVIDES DE VOTAR y llevar a todos LOS QUE PUEDAN VOTAR en tu familia, amigos y comunidad... CHIDO POR TI...
I literally am crying right now.
Gracias Bernie Sanders, sigue llevando la lucha de todos hasta el final. Con usted, ganamos todos.
Thank You Bernie Sanders, keep carrying the fight of every person until the end. With you, we all win.
We need Bernie Sanders for President. He is great and respectable Leader for United States of America .
he would Fuck shit up
+Walter Conner heck yeah he would! hes gonna fuck up those corrupt establishment politicians!
My dad started working in the fields at the age of 15. He took classes at night and got his high school diploma . Got a job at that same high school as a groundskeeper. Got his residency. Brought and married my mom. She did what she could. Babysat, mended clothing, cleaned houses. To this day the only gov't handout they've ever taken is their social security checks that they both earned working day and night. We got sent through college with no debt. My dad took on 3 jobs just to make that possible. So I stand with immigrants. Because I am a proud child of two. I am only a US citizen because of their courage, sacrifice and hard work.
Beautiful and highly relevant.
As an ad, an instant classic.
Damn this was powerful, moving, beautiful
Bro I'm crying 😭 Bernie sanders for president
I've been surprised at how civil the ads are. Haven't seen political ads like this in decades.
+Rolfathan Haven't seen a candidate like this in decades either. Coincidence?! I think not!
+Rolfathan He said that in all of his years in politics, he has never run a negative ad. His ads area always informative and uplifting. They're the best political ads I've seen.
This made me cry. #feelthebern
❤
you're not alone...
Allie C. You don't. Have to cry😁
I didn't think a Bernie ad would make me tear up for a second time...
who has the best ads on TV ? Mr Bernie Sanders
I saw one of Bernie's ads airing where I live in Illinois and my whole family clapped.
Chicago feels the bern!
Will this one be on TV? It is 5 minutes long.
+hounddoggy7
It will be.
+hounddoggy7 They did a national ad buy on Univision.
Clifton Archuleta Awesome!
That is pure class. I'm no in the US and I don't have a vote in US elections. But many of us in Europe really wish Bernie's campaign the very best.
I love you Bernie Sanders! He fights for us and not the big corporations! He fights for the PEOPLE OF AMERICA! Go Bernie Sanders!
i'm from Argentina and i'm spreading the word about Bernie
spread the word about the horrible things macri is doing to Argentina too.
I'm from Australia and I'm spreading. His word too. People can finally Seee that there are alternatives
+jebirobin1 i never saw a millionaire working for the common people, and at least at this point Macri barely did anything for the middle and lower classes, he did cut a lot of luxury taxes, and also taxes to millionaire farmers and foreign miners that make their workers sick and contaminate the soil and the waters... i voted blank because i didnt trust either of the candidates sadly.
+lucasoscar he fired thousands of employees, and the private sector is doing the same, prices for food and electricity went up, consumption decreased for the first time in a year, and the goverment got a new debt of 16billion dollars that is going to benefit only the financial organizations called fondos buitres. Macri is the right wing, the neoliberal consevative party of argentina.

Brazil supports you Bernie! #FeelTheBern
Bernie is just such a good man. He's a senator from Vermont and this injustice happened in Florida. Yet he cared enough to go to Florida, see for himself, and then do something to help. Where were the senators from Florida? I am so proud to support Bernie.
very powerful!
Winning or not, Bernie has already left a huge mark on this election by inspiring millions of young voters. And they are the generation that will hopefully reshape the democratic party. He has touched the hearts of many people, no wonder he was able to raise over $40 mil in one month from regular folks
Vamos latinos! Este es el presidente que se necesita!!!!!!!
Good people of America, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Please vote Bernie. Too many are being exploited in this country.
This made my soul cold =(
Come on Kansas, Louisiana, and Nebraska! Let's bring Bernie back and show the mainstream media we're serious!!!
No , Bernie could have easily won in Massachusetts if the Clintons did not cheat
Bill broke the law when he went inside the caucuses hold up the flow of the voters
Viva Bernie !
Another beautiful ad. Bernie will win. He needs us and we need him. We are all in this together, to make a better life for our children and our children's children.
I had friends and tupperware hostesses in Immokalee. Indeed. Good folks. Keep fighting BErnie. We are WITH you now.
Bernie is doing the right thing
lol even Bin laden had to see the light.
+OsamaBinLaden If Osama can be changed by Bernie, than so can Trump supporters. Well...idk actually. Even the most devout do not pray for the forgiveness of Satan
BEAUTIFUL! Brought me to tears! I am a first generation Mexican-American
(Chicana) from LA. My parents struggled (momma rest her soul
Bernie's ad's have made me have the feels more then any political election I have witnessed.
this is what I love about Bernie, he's a big human rights activist!
+Mr. Fredricksen You are correct. He fights for all people who don't have a voice
Bernie's got one hell of a production team
I am immensely grateful that Senator Sanders decided to run for President, and I'm immensely proud to contribute to his campaign. This was another exemplary ad, highlighting Bernie's unflagging determination to add some dignity and decency to our beleaguered nation. Kudos to all.
Hands down. Bernie 2016
Unidos con Bernie! Hasta la victoria siempre!!!
This brought me to tears. I appreciate that he kept this in spanish, that he let her tell her own story. Trumps allegations towards Mexicans hurt even more when I saw how many people supported him. My father is the most hardworking man I know and I can guarantee you none of those Trump supporters who cry about illegal Mexicans taking their jobs would willingly do the kind of back breaking labor my father has done. Immigrants are hardworking and deserve far more respect, thank you bernie
i'm gonna be SO disappointed if he doesn't win. he is the only politician i have ever donated to in my life. plus. i just lost my job yesterday.
+Bob K Sanders supporters are brain dead. What hell is wrong with them donating money that they desperately need.
George Douglass i only donated $25 & that was over a month ago. that's because Bernie supporters are smart enough to know what is & who is best for the people & the country.
Bernie needs it because he's not taking money from billionaires in exchange for under the table promises if he reaches office. All other people running are taking that money, including Trump who claims to be self funded(loophole for him to get money once campaign finishes). News just came out of Hillary paying herself $250,000 dollars of the money she's getting from billionaires, it's time for a political revolution

+George Douglass It's ironic that dumb people are always the first to attack someone else's intelligence.
We need to open everyone's eyes, we are never going to have another chance to elect someone like Bernie.
This is easily one of the best ads to explain how Sanders has used his voice to effect positive and progressive change even without getting a lot of bills passed. That part of what makes a leader a leader is the strength of the message and how that message is conveyed to improve the lives of others.
I was already going to vote for the man, but damn this video was great.
+Patrick Bowers he needs more volunteers and activists.
DONT FORGET TO MAKE SURE OF YOUR VOTING STATUS THEY ARE BLOCKING VOTES ALL OVER...THEY ARE SCARED OF OUR BERNIE!
There has never been a politician like this in modern politics. How long until there will be again? Now is the time America. The rest of the world is counting on you to do the right thing.
We have to look at the Green Party as a back up plan is he doesn't get the nomination.
+gespilk I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has noticed Hillary's speeches morphing into Bernie's. The difference is, is that Bernie's are heartfelt truths and Hillary's are just words. As in most things in life, it ain't the words, it's the meaning , intention and action behind them.
gespilk Trump is not like Sanders at all. Look at the We Are Change video on Trump. It's very objective with a pros and cons list.
gespilk I won't be voting for Clinton or Trump.
wow this made me cry and my heart beat go so fast.
When she said that politicians never visit immokalee, and that bernie had, I kinda cried. That was very moving.
im curious to know how someone From Florida or around the Country doesnt look at this and not tear up. unlike Hillary, Bernie Actually gives a shit
I'm from Florida, this is terrible. It's like fucking slavery!
the problem is that those workers who are at the bottom of the economical food chain, most of them don't know who Bernie Sanders is, but every single one knows who Hillary Clinton is. so that when or if they go to vote, they will pick the name that they are familiar with.
***** sorry about your mom. hopefully enough people hear about Bernie on time, and we will get him as president. he is definitely what we need.
+My Unself That is exactly why it is so important for all of us as a community to reach out those we know and spread knowledge and awareness. While not everyone knows Bernie Sanders, everyone knows someone else who does.
+My Unself - Agreed; that helps explains the results from the southern primaries over the past few weeks. Another problem, though, is that the overwhelming majority of the bottom don't pay attention to politics (at all). As a result, the people one rung above them vote Republican to punish them. Have a look at this if you have a few minutes: www.nytimes.com/2015/11/22/opinion/sunday/who-turned-my-blue-state-red.html
A movement has begun, an increased awareness of a state of affairs that has been ignored for too long is starting too see the light of day. Thank you Bernie Sanders!
*An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.* If you allow the exploitation of immigrant workers, you open the doors for exploitation of all workers.
Everything about that ad felt so beautiful!
Powerful message, no matter where you are in the world. Go Bernie!
people always say "i promised myself i wouldn't cry" that was me 6 minutes ago and here i am crying. Unidos con Bernie! You worked so hard for so long for us! Now, we are for you!
FeelingtheBern in Malaysia!!
Cesar Chavez fought for better working conditions and better pay . ily Bernie
What a wonderful Ad. You know Bernie cares about those who don't have a voice, because unlike others, he gives them a Chance to speak up, and show the world what they have to endure.
Share if you Care!
Bless you Bernie Sanders! :'(
Started crying within the first few seconds. Bawled even after it ended. This hits close to home, I love my mother and I'm so grateful for everything she's done to give us everything we needed .
Impresionante.
From Spain, Bernie Sanders president.
The hope of all the world. A better world.
Damn you Bernie.
just take my money! take it all!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure that's his plan... He loves taking other people's money
+Darth Jar Jar the it's hard to put into words what just happened to me reading this comment. do you not understand that these people were suddenly able to live just because consumers spent a tiny amount more?
What you are suggesting is that Bernie likes "taking away other people's money" for his own gain. Since I assume you're in the middle class at best, your money will not be "taken away". You will personally gain, because what Bernie Sanders is proposing is to take money back from the people who originally took it from you, which is banks and giant corporations (small businesses or the poor).
If asked to draw wealth distribution in America everyone draws a pretty steep graph indicating they know something is wrong, but in reality it is much more ridiculous. I don't know the exact numbers, but at the end it is very few people controlling extreme portions of wealth. And money buys everything (except Bernie).
3 years later and this ad still moves me. 😢😢
Bernie Sanders. Is the man . Stand with him. And you will see justice for all Americans. Go Bernie go
oh wow...this man has done so much with his life.
Bernie2016🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Whoa this was so powerful. Literally had me in tears. Bernie2020 I don’t care what the haters say. I’m with him all the way. #FeelTheBern
That is a powerful 5 minute video. Hopefully more people get to see this -- and tear up like I did.
Immigration reform isn't just about a path to citizenship. It's about protecting guest workers that have no rights, that are abused/exploited by corporations and treated as essentially slave labor. Watch this.
he'll be showing this ad on univision, hopefully this will bring in millions of votes and win the hispanic vote!!GO BERNIE
+Karuska22ps on univision, really?! Yay! #VotaPorBernie
Like Bernie said. It is about protecting American values and American worker rights for the entire country. Allowing Think tanks and private interests separate us, only allows these private powerful entities to exploit us all.
+Ashley Encalada it's going to air the eve of the Florida primary (8:48 pm eastern standard time I believe).
Because I'mbatman thank you!
Bernie is the ONLY candidate who deserves the office at the White House. I guess we'll have to see if America deserves him too...
This is why we need bernie. He actually cares about people.
Thank you, Bernie. Thank you so much. They need help, and we as Americans must help them. They deserve to live with dignity and respect.
from Immokalee, born and raised. I've never been so proud.
+jay marie yeah brother
+jay marie pls make sure that you are going to vote for Bernie. remember you have to register to vote
I'm non-US citizen, unemployed father of 3, and I'm going to donate my few savings to Bernie Sanders.
+Premed1981 Sorry, but please don't. It is illegal for non-us citizens to donate to US political campaigns. However you can phonebank and facebank! We desperately need more people helping! It's super simple too!
go.berniesanders.com/page/content/phonebank
I'm Mexican and I will never understand people who don't like us. the majority are actually really kind hard workers, like my family and I can honestly say that I have more passion and discipline than most of the kids at my school. It's crazy how beautiful America is yet no one wants to take advantage of it. Trump was suppose to be in the same position that I was in, what an evil man.
+ibandon I have no problem with legal Mexican immigrants, however they are seriously behind in education, and have high dropout rates and low college matriculation, they need to focus their culture more on the value of education! Too many having teen pregnancies and not going to school. Contrast to asian americas who despite being an even smaller population in USA, have risen up the ladder and high college and postgraduate degree rates
+Maddy R I kinda disagree? the same thing could be said about white people or anyone. I go to highschool and I can honestly say that there is always some asshole black,white, or Mexican group. (But I haven't seen any Asians damn) and it's not fair to say Mexicans need to focus on education like WE DO A LOT OF US REALLY DO!!! White, black, Asian, Mexican parents can easily raise their children to be stupid however I am not one of them and the majority of us aren't
Florida it is our time
Time to vote for this man
He stood w/the CIW & he brought them to Washington DC to speak out about the
horrible conditon's in Immokalee, Florida .
These workers do the work that AMERICAN workers & FLORIDIANS refuse to do
Bernie Sanders spoke up for them
Bernie Sanders CARES ~~ Bernie Sanders for President 2016
I donated for Bernie's campaign, even though I'm German. I benefit from social programs here directly, free education and healthcare. Things can be done way better here, but I've been in California for a year (study abroad - which Germany paid for as a schoolorship everybody can get, if their parents earn less than 100k) and I've seen problems that would be unacceptable here, including racial issues. I met so many great people over there and I think that America can do so much better!! Since Germany and every other country is affected by the results of this particular presidantial race (trade agreements, world peace etc.) I want to do my part in supporting him.
I cried.
I cry almost every time I see one of these documentary ads from the campaign. Slavery is alive and well in this country, it never left, it just shifts to a new minority group. First they tried to use children, now it's private prisons, migrant workers, and Walmart. This country needs Bernie Sanders more than ever, and I can't imagine the detriment to society his loss would mean. The corporate media is trying to propagate this race into one between a corporate puppet (Clinton) and a corporate puppeteer (Trump), and it just isn't. This campaign simply HAS to win, there is no alternative for the average American who can't afford Clinton's plans to effectively end social security and replace it with a welfare system. It can't afford anymore corrupt trade deals that export jobs (mind you to the foreign slave labor practice known as "sweat shops") and seek to change US pharmaceutical and copyright law in the most undemocratic way possible so as to make our lives even more difficult, all for the benefit of a few powerful individual's greed. Bernie Sanders is the only candidate who cares about, and has consistently cared about us for his entire life, and done so because he IS one of us, having grown up in Brooklyn, the son of Jewish American immigrants. Every time I hear something new from his past in supporting gay and transgender rights only three years after Stonewall during his first attempt at public office, or knowing that there is a man alive today who is running for president who chained himself to two other black people to protest segregation in Chicago, I can't help but cry at how tremendous of a possibility it is for this country that this man of the people could be our next president. I have so much respect for the work he's done fighting for my grandfather's VA benefits that he desperately needs to survive, god knows he could NEVER afford his medical bills otherwise, especially after he broke his hip last year. The entire country needs to know this man, needs to know the countless things he's done and helped fight for to get and keep our human rights. I'm disgusted at how other politicians try to use my community as a political pawn when they've done everything under the sun to strip us of our rights, and how they do the same with every other community that isn't directly paying their light bills in "campaign contributions" and "speaking fees". In a time where politicians are no better than snake oil salesmen, Bernie Sanders stands above the rest in his consistency in fighting for ALL of our rights, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, racial or ethnic background. While others want to debate so-called "inconsistencies" on gun legislation to distract from the massive problems we actually face in this country, I stand behind and rally for this great man who has done and will do so much in return. Enough is Enough. #SaveUsBernie
+Brock Smith Thank you for sharing your story. There's still hope for being able to vote for a candidate of the people in November, instead of having to choose the lesser of two corporatists.
People, get out and vote in your primaries. Turnout in them is low, so each and every one of yours' votes are worth many, many people.
#Bernie2016
+S3lvah thank you, more of an in-opportune emotional rant, but thanks. and yes, #GOTV
wonderful ad. there are people who wouldn't believe this was America in the video
I rewatch this ad every few months and it breaks my brain every time because I've never known a single political leader to ask such a simple question, "who benefits, from this exploitation," and I've just never known a leader that actually gives a damn about the working people of America until Bernie Sanders. BERNIE 2020!
This is not an ad but life story of many thousands of people and it should touch the Humane side of every human being. I am glad the director made it very well #FeelTheBern
this video needs more shares. Let's share it as much as we can
This is a masterpiece, and needs to used in the coming battle
currently crying 😭 Thank you for fighting for us Bernie I love you ❤️ he’s the first politician i’ve ever donated to and will continue doing so
Bernie makes the best ads of ANY campaign on either side. This is a fact.
Bernie Sanders is Hope and a breath of fresh air for America. As President, Bernie Sanders will be the voice for the forgotten middle class
I'm crying ;_;
Whenever my eyes are feeling dry, I can always rely on this video.

+slavkomarakara The music moves the heart.
I am so proud of my son Paul for directing another beautiful, amazing and very touching ad for the Bernie Sanders campaign! It is truly awesome!
Two years later, I'm here to say your son is a genius... But you know that.
Thank you, Bernie. It pains me that so many Americans haven't heard your message and latched on with this movement. It will be a missed opportunity if the American people fail to elect you president. But I have confidence that you will, in the end, prevail. Thank you for who you are and what you stand for.
i now support bernie sanders
