(Hillary and Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin)


On Tuesday, February 23, 2016, Hillary Clinton was joined by Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin, and other mothers whose children were killed by gun violence at a roundtable discussion at which she urged the public to make gun control a voting issue.

“I say to you, if Eric Garner was a white man, standing on the corner in the suburbs,” he would not have been killed, Gwen Carr (mother of Eric Garner, who died in a police chokehold in New York in 2014) said. “We cannot take this anymore. We have to get up and do something about it.”

“I endorse (Hillary) because she endorsed us first,” Carr said to applause.

2. The genuine concerns of these women are what moves Hillary.

Take note America.

3. She earns their respect the same way she has earned Planned Parenthood- advocating instead of

avoiding these contentious issues others like to refer to as "wedge" or "identity politics".
