Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign released a stirring video from supporter Erica Garner, the daughter of Eric Garner. In 2014, Erica's father died after a New York police officer put him in a chokehold. Garner was unarmed.

The four-minute ad opens with Garner detailing the importance of her family and it also features her daughter. "This is what mommy is, I'm an activist," Garner says she explained to her daughter in the clip. "The same thing Martin Luther King was. He fought for our rights, this is the same thing I'm doing in honor of her pop-pop."

Later she reflects on her father's death. "No one gets to see their parent's last moments, and I was able to see my dad die on national TV," she says. "They don't know what they took from us."

For a year, she says she's been protesting every Tuesday and Thursday. "I feel like a representative for people throughout this whole nation because I'm doing this, I'm speaking out," she says.
