"It's important for people to get out because the race is close. It can't be done overnight. There's a lot of people stacked against Bernie so it's important to get out, show that they're interested, show that a whole crowd is interested. We need to push for it. It's an uphill battle," said Emmanuel Decaudin (right), 16. "He wants to raise taxes and have healthcare be free, and for me, that's really important because I'm transgender. So the surgeries that I would want to get and the testosterone therapy I'm on right now isn't paid for by insurance right now. I have to cash pay for it myself. So I'm a full-time student, and I'm working a full job. And I'm volunteering. It's a lot so I can have a medical benefit that other people can have just because they [can]," said Tyler Videla (left), 19.

"I want to leave this world a better place than it is now, and it has been. And there's hope for younger people. College students with loans, the millennials today, chances are, won't be able to buy a house, strapped with all the college debt," said Michael Miller, 72.
"I'm not 100 percent informed on the platform he's running on, but I do enjoy his efforts in increasing the voting power and just the presence of the middle class in American society. I think that's really interesting. His efforts in trying to raise the responsibilities for the wealthy in terms of taxes. Also, I really enjoy his stance on women, Planned Parenthood. Obviously the right to choose should be a right every woman has, and I feel comfortable, with Bernie in office, women will autonomy over their own bodies, which doesn't seem to be as pressing of an issue amongst candidates," said Libby Torres, 20.

"It's your future at the end of the day. If you don't vote, why are you even living here? This is what's going to shape your future, your jobs, your school and everything that's important in the future. So you have to vote. Learn about who you want to vote for and vote for them," said Christopher Francis (left), 21. "People who don't care are most likely uneducated about the situation, nine times out of ten," said James Boland (right), 18.
"People still seem to think that he's not electable, and I think, by doing things like this, it spreads awareness that yes, there's still a chance. And I can't even vote because I'm a citizen. So that's why I'm here. I need to freakin' do something," said Rose Boeve,36, who's originally from the Netherlands but now resides in New York City.

"Bernie represents change and hope, and I think the things happening right now are unsettling. And I think it's important to have a presidential candidate who cares about the people and cares about our voices," Aaliyah Raghnal, 18.
"[Bernie] is an honest man. He's a man of integrity. He's got 40 years behind him of working hard for the people. He doesn't just want to be president, and he takes no money from Super PACs," Ellen Chevalier, 57.
