Hillary Clinton Launches New Political Organization

The Associated Press reports:

Hillary Clinton is launching a new political organization. The former Democratic presidential nominee unveiled “Onward Together” on Monday afternoon. The organization, whose name is a riff on her campaign theme, “Stronger Together,” aims to empower Democrats and liberal groups that are building a network of candidates in the 2018 mid-terms to oppose President Donald Trump. Clinton tweeted that she’s launching the new group “to encourage people to get involved, organize, and even run for office.” The former secretary of state was not expected to rejoin the Clinton Foundation, the primary focus of her husband and daughter.

The last few months, I've been reflecting, spending time with family—and, yes, taking walks in the woods.

More than ever, I believe citizen engagement is vital to our democracy. I'm so inspired by everyone stepping up to organize and lead.
