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.

(25,537 posts)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!
