Error 404 (Not Found)!!1Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is seeking to appeal to young voters in a new ad addressing the nationwide protests over racial equality and policing in the wake of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis.
The ad, which is dubbed "Progress," uses footage spanning from the Civil War to the present-day protests and features excerpts of Biden's address on racial equality in Philadelphia last week.
"We've had talk before. We've had protests before. We've got to now vow to make this at least an era of action and reverse the systemic racism with long-overdue concrete changes," the former vice president says in the ad.

"It's going to take the work of a generation. If we stand together, finally as one America, we'll rise stronger than we were before," he continues.
The ad, which was first obtained by ABC News, is slated to run on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat in the battleground states of Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
