Thousands of people gathered in Washington Square Park for a momentous rally held by the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
The rally was one of the Vermont senator's largest to date, drawing a crowd of 27,000 people, according to the campaign.
It came ahead of next Tuesday's primary in New York, a state that has turned into one of outsize importance for Sanders in his primary challenge to frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
Celebrities such as Spike Lee, Rosario Dawson, Linda Sarsour, Shailene Woodley, Tim Robbins, and Vampire Weekend were also a part of the rally, performing and speaking before Sanders made his own speech.
