Hillary Clinton on Monday unveiled her new political action organization, Onward Together, which will fundraise for five prominent progressive groups.

...............

"I believe more fiercely than ever that citizen engagement at every level is central to a strong and vibrant democracy," she wrote.

"To support this wave of grassroots organizing, we're launching Onward Together, an organization dedicated to advancing the progressive vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election. Onward Together will work to build a brighter future for generations to come by supporting groups that encourage people to organize and run for office."

The group's initial effort will support five specific progressive groups: Swing Left, which targets vulnerable House Republican incumbents; Emerge America, which will train Democratic women to run for office; Color of Change, which fights for criminal justice reform and racial justice; Indivisible, a group that's mobilizing a "resistance" against Trump; and Run for Something, which helps potential candidates find tools to guide their bids.

4. Good selection of grassroots organizations.

We do need more people to run for office since so many of these GOPers run unopposed term after term.

5. Was going to say the same- well rounded selection of organizations!

6. Good. But not sure I like that name Onward Together. Sounds...old fashioned? Caps with "O.T."? nt

[bettyellen]

10. Well that kind of criticism is up there w cankles as far as I am concerned.

[NastyRiffraff]

14. Gotta criticize something, right?

I mean, when there's nothing real to criticize, knock the slogan just to show you're cool.

[LisaM]

22. I think it riffs off "Stronger Together"

which I thought was a good slogan.

[forgotmylogin]

23. It also ties in well with Hillary's existing H- logo

as currently shown on your avatar!

[LisaM]

25. Well, as a matter of fact it does!

What I like about that is that it's a solid reminder to people that they voted in the wrong person.

Glad she's organizing for us all.
There is hope

20. She was in my dream last night.

I was in a generic city where there were a lot of burned buildings. Someone handed me a garden hose and I sprayed water on the buildings but thought, this is useless, the damage is done. Then Hillary came and began talking to people on the street. More and more people gathered and then we all planted trees, flowers, herbs, vegetables along the side of the street. I thought, hey, where's the garden hose? Found it, watered the garden, felt useful.

Grassroots!

21. Got the email announcement as well. Will be donating. That's my girl.

24. I'm glad to have her back in the game!

If she can't be President, she might actually be more dangerous against the Right shepherding and organizing progressive causes and being the fierce policy wonk she is!

[Me.]

26. Thank You Hillary

I knew you had it in you

[LOL Lib]

Still with you HRC!
