New Bernie 2020 video, "Trapped", focuses on rural poverty in the South

Not sure if this is an ad to be aired on television or just circulated around the internet, but here it is. It focuses on a family in rural Alabama who bought a mobile home and experienced real estate devaluation due to nearby industrial development (likely targeting the impoverished community because, hey, they're poor, right?). It then goes on to tie that family's experience the broader issue of poverty throughout the country. This is what we're fighting for.

focused on the same thing 50 years ago. Johnson tried with his Great Society laws. All have been forgotten and in today's political climate, won t get much support, unfortunately.

But nothing will ever get done without bringing attention to the issue. Democrats and people on this board have been clamoring for candidates to bring more attention to poverty in the U.S. Well, here's a candidate doing just that.
