Thousands gathered in Manhattan to hear Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders speak, five days before New Yorkers cast their votes.
"When I look at an unbelievable crowd like this I believe we're going to win here in New York," the Vermont senator said in Washington Square.
Organizers say a crowd of 27,000 heard his key themes of income inequality and Wall Street greed at Wednesday's event.

Minority voters will play a key part in New York. Earlier on Wednesday, Mrs Clinton said the country's long struggle with racism had a long way to go, as she appeared on stage with civil rights activist Reverend Al Sharpton.
She attracted an enthusiastic crowd of 1,300 people to a Bronx community centre, where she did not mention Mr Sanders but turned her fire on Republicans Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, whom she accused of dividing America.
