Erica Garner This is everything that I have, my family.

I got to see my dad die on national TV.  They don't know what they took from us. 

People are dying.  We need a president that's going to talk about it.

I believe Bernie Sanders is a protester.  He's not scared to go up against the criminal justice system; he's not scared.

That's why I'm for Bernie.

Sanders (voiceover):  I'm Bernie Sanders, and I approve this message. 


NotesErica Garner was featured in "It's Not Over," an ad the campaign run in the South Carolina primary, which included some of the same footage.
