As New Yorkers head to the polls Tuesday, a new ad is making the rounds in support of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
The Spike Lee-helmed ad uses a line from his iconic 1988 film “School Daze” as a call-to-action for voters. In the film, Laurence Fishburne’s character yells “Wake up” in the center of the college campus in an attempt to make the students aware of the injustices and issues going on around them.
Lee uses the same call to awaken voters to Sanders’ platform. He’s joined by a laundry list of celebrities and political activists, including Harry Belafonte, Rosario Dawson, Susan Sarandon and Dr. Cornel West.
