WATCH: Bernie Sanders Holds Rally in Greenpoint, Brooklyn

GREENPOINT, BROOKLYN — Fresh off a short, sweet speech in front of his South Brooklyn childhood home Friday afternoon, White House hopeful Bernie Sanders headed north to the salty, breezy, hipstery Greenpoint waterfront later in the day for a second rally at a city park.

The actress Susan Sarandon, who's been an outspoken Sanders fan so far this campaign, also spoke at the event.

Above is video of Sarandon and Sanders' speeches in Greenpoint. (We'll keep this post updated with the best-quality footage we can find, so if the video isn't working, check back.)

4:45 p.m.

The Greenpoint crowd is easily double the size of the crowd who trekked out to Midwood earlier. Crowd members also appear, on average, to be younger and whiter than those in Midwood.

5 p.m.

Time for Sanders' warm-up speakers to take the stage. Behind them is a picturesque (and super Brooklyn) view of the East River and the Manhattan skyline, including the new World Trade Center building.

5:20 p.m.

The sun literally peeks through the crowds right as Bernie begins speaking.

5:35 p.m.

Sanders' speech is running longer than his last one, and he's touching on pretty much every talking point central to his campaign: criminal justice reform; universal health care; local police reform; abolishing the war on drugs; holding Wall Street accountable; etc.

"Drug addiction is a heath issue, not a criminal issue," he says.

All this is a lead-in to his larger point: Fundamental change to U.S. policy is not only necessary, but possible.

"When people start moving, the leaders have to lead," he says. "We are right now in a pivotal moment in American history. I've been all over this country, and I perceive that people are looking around them and saying, You know what? The status quo isn't working.'"

5:45 p.m.

Sanders closes out his speech by, of course, encouraging his supporters to vote in the upcoming New York State primary election.

"Let us, on April 19, have the biggest turnout in the history of this state for a Democratic primary," he says. "So bring your friends, bring your family... and let us let the world know that in this great state, New York is part of the political revolution."

Sanders exits the stage to the David Bowie song "Starman."
