Democratic candidate for president Bernie Sanders is coming off a win in Wisconsin, and his New York supporters want to keep the momentum going.

Sanders supporters marched through Downtown Syracuse today in hopes of encouraging voters to vote for Sanders in the upcoming New York Primary on April 19, 2016.

To gain more attention, people beat drums to make sure they were heard and waved signs with messages such as “We are the 99%” and “Feel the Bern.”
