U.S. should follow Canada's model of diversity, Clintons say in Montreal

Former U.S. president Bill Clinton listens to his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, during a conference at the Bell Centre Wednesday night.

The United States is making a mistake by moving in the opposite direction of Canada on cultural diversity, immigration and social harmony, former U.S. president Bill Clinton told a receptive audience in Montreal on Wednesday night.
“Canada has done such a good job of both managing its contemporary diversity and it has a very interesting immigration system,” he said at the Bell Centre, where he and his wife, former U.S. secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton, made their second stop on a paid speaking tour of North America.
The 13-stop tour, An Evening with the Clintons, began in Toronto on Tuesday.
“And yet it’s still Canada,” Clinton added. “And I just think that you can model the idea that you can become more diverse and still keep your culture and your values. It’s really very good for a modern economy.”
Canada has the capacity to embrace and influence the world in a positive way, he said.

Hillary Clinton: See you in New York?

 

 

 

 

 

I’m thrilled to announce I’ve partnered up with Omaze to offer you the chance to join me in NYC for a Broadway play and a glass of chardonnay. It's bound to be a great evening, and I'd like you to be there.
All contributions to this campaign support Onward Together’s mission to advance progressive values and create a more inclusive America for generations to come. The groups that Onward Together partners with helped to turn the tide in the midterm elections -- and have already jumped back into the critical work of preserving our democracy. So far, we've been able to provide more than $2.5 million in financial resources to these groups, along with the support of this diverse, big-hearted team.
The important thing is that we'd get the chance to spend some time together, seeing a show and catching up on what we've been up to over the last few years. Hearing from you is as important to me as it ever was. And of course, we'll cover travel and accommodations if you win -- all you have to do is pick the show.
For just $10, you can make a difference in the future of our country and get a chance to share in one of my favorite pastimes. Enter right now for a chance to meet me in New York:

I hope to see you soon,
Hillary

Hillary Clinton on the Climate Change Study

Hillary took to social media to expose the study that the Trump regime tried to hide by releasing it on the slowest news day of the year. This is her Facebook post. You can RT her Tweets here >>>>




Thought I would tack this on here. Trump promised the residents of Tangier Island that he would protect them from the rising tides. But, never mind. He doesn’t believe the study from his own administration, soooo … I’m guessing it’s all a big “screw you” to Tangier Islanders. I think of them every time the topic arises. This article was originally published in September, 2014.

On Tangier, a Disappearing Island

By Christian Storm

Christian Storm/Business Insider

This article originally appeared in Business Insider.

If you stand at the end of the dock in Crisfield, Maryland, and gaze out over the water, you might not catch the tiny shape of a water tower barely visible on the horizon. And when you look at a map you can just as easily miss the tiny island that the tower sits on, 12 miles from either coast in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. Largely unknown, Tangier Island, Virginia, is one of the most isolated and extraordinary places in the continental U.S.
It’s also in danger of disappearing. In 50 to 100 years, the water tower in the center of town may be all that’s left of the place.
Many of us have heard about far-off islands, like the Maldives or Kiribati, which are slowly sinking into the ocean because of erosion and rising sea levels. Far fewer know of Tangier, an island right here in the U.S. that’s currently only 4 feet or so above sea level at its highest point and that may soon suffer the same fate.

Hillary Clinton"s Interview with The Guardian

Hillary Clinton: Europe must curb immigration to stop rightwing populists

Patrick Wintour

7-9 minutes

---

Europe must get a handle on immigration to combat a growing threat from rightwing populists, Hillary Clinton has said, calling on the continent’s leaders to send out a stronger signal showing they are “not going to be able to continue to provide refuge and support”.
In an interview with the Guardian, the former Democratic presidential candidate praised the generosity shown by the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, but suggested immigration was inflaming voters and contributed to the election of Donald Trump and Britain’s vote to leave the EU.
“I think Europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame,” Clinton said, speaking as part of a series of interviews with senior centrist political figures about the rise of populists, particularly on the right, in Europe and the Americas.

Clinton, Blair, Renzi: why we lost, and how to fight back

Centrist heavyweights on the global rise of rightwing populism, and what can be done to stop it

Patrick Wintour Diplomatic editor, in New York, London and Rome

Clinton was left dumbfounded by her 2016 defeat to Donald Trump, while Brexit has upended Blair’s legacy. Composite: The Guardian Design Team

Hillary Clinton, Tony Blair, Matteo Renzi: three of rightwing populism’s greatest scalps.
Clinton admits she was left dumbfounded by her 2016 election defeat at the hands of Donald Trump. Renzi’s centre-left party was defeated this year after a surge in the anti-establishment vote in Italy, a country he calls “the incubator” of populism.

Blair may not have lost at the ballot box, but his legacy, particularly on Europe, was upended in the Brexit referendum.
All three are shunned by sections of their own party that accuse them of being responsible for the failure of the centre-left to offer a sufficiently radical alternative.
But all three are still thinking deeply about rightwing populism – its causes and the threat it poses – the mistakes of the centre left, including their own, and how modern politics appears to be mobilising resentment towards a perceived elite.

I have always been and remain a staunch advocate of comprehensive immigration reform that’s true to our values and treats every person with dignity, provides a pathway to full and equal citizenship…

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 23, 2018

and brings millions of hardworking people into the formal economy, fixes the family visa backlog, upholds the rule of law, and protects our borders and national security.

We passed bipartisan comprehensive reform when I was a senator, but House Republicans killed it. Since then, the GOP has refused to make progress and instead uses the issue to divide our country.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 23, 2018

Trump has made it worse with cruel abuses at the border, detaining children and separating them from their families. It’s one of the most shameful moments in our history.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 23, 2018

In a recent interview, I talked about how Europe must reject right-wing nationalism and authoritarianism, including by addressing migration with courage and compassion. I also gave a comprehensive speech about this last month.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 23, 2018

On both sides of the Atlantic, we need reform. Not open borders, but immigration laws enforced with fairness and respect for human rights. We can’t let fear or bias force us to give up the values that have made our democracies both great and good.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 23, 2018

In Europe, nationalists like Hungary’s Viktor Orban are exploiting this challenge to stoke fear and resentment. To defeat them and protect democracy, the EU needs a more comprehensive policy that builds societies that are both secure and welcoming.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 23, 2018

Democracy hangs in the balance on both sides of Atlantic and we need to save it. Can’t just keep doing the same things.

Hillary Clinton: Run for Something!

It's your turn! Here is an email from Hillary today.

 

 

What an incredible year it has been for first-time candidates. Of the 23 Democratic women joining the House of Representatives in January, 19 have never held elected office -- and they're ready to take Congress by storm. And dozens of young people will take their seats on city councils, school boards, and more, due in part to the help they received from one of our proud Onward Together partners: Run for Something.
Today, on National Run for Office Day, Run for Something is celebrating these victories by recruiting an entirely new class of young first-time candidates for office. If you're a young progressive, I hope you'll sign up to learn more -- because politics could use a few more big-hearted members of this team.
Running for office is one of the most powerful ways that you can work with the people in your community to come up with real, meaningful solutions to the problems we all face. It's also one of the most rewarding things you'll ever do. Take it from me.
If you are ready to run for office or are interested in learning more about what it takes to run, please go to www.RunforOfficeDay.com and get started. The team at Run for Something will walk you through the process:

Onward!

Hillary Clinton's Speech at Glamour's Women of the Year Awards Will Convince You to Run for Office

2008 Women of the Year honoree Hillary Clinton spent much of midterms season campaigning for Democrats running for Congress, including Florida politician Donna Shalala and Chicago gubernatorial candidate J.B. Prtizker. So it's really no wonder she surprised the crowd at Glamour's Women of the Year awards for an inspiring speech on the importance of women running for office.

Read the powerful message she delivered to the crowd, below:

"Congratulations to all of the Glamour Women of the Year being honored tonight—don't they inspire us and give us hope about the future?

"This week, exactly two years ago, was a rough one. But, you know, my personal disappointment wasn’t so much about what happened, but how do we create even more opportunity for all the people in America. 'An America that's hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted,' as I said afterward. That remains my mission today.

Hillary Clinton Thanks Onward Together Partners

Hillary posted this message on Facebook and also Tweeted it.

Hillary Clinton

Thanks and congratulations to all our Onward Together partners for two years of hard work that paid off in a big way this week.
These organizations are recruiting a new Democratic bench, defending rights, and organizing locally to fight for progressive policies that improve people's lives. I'm so proud.
The Arena, The Collective PAC, Emerge America, and Run for Something have collectively recruited, trained, and supported hundreds of candidates up and down the ballot. They are building a Democratic bench, candidate by candidate and race by race.

Latino Victory and Voto Latino have worked to mobilize Latino voters and elect progressive Latino candidates, sending dozens of amazing candidates to office up and down the ballot.
Color Of Change and National Domestic Workers Alliance have spent the last two years waging campaigns to defend civil rights against the administration's attacks and building powerful communities for change.
iVote has defended democracy itself, fighting hard against voter suppression and for secretaries of state and local measures that will make it easier for every American to exercise their right to vote.
Alliance for Youth Action, Indivisible Guide, and Swing Left set about organizing locally to mobilize young people and win back Congress. I truly don't think we would have won back the House without them.
Thank you all for your service to your country. Take a well-deserved rest, and then let's keep going.
Like our amazing partners, we're just getting started. If you'd like to join our team, sign up here: onwardtogether.org

 

Hillary Clinton's Post-Election Statement

As we put the 2018 mid-terms to bed, Hillary took to social media to deliver her message on the results.  Here is what she posted on Facebook. The same comments are also posted at her Twitter account.

Hillary Clinton

 

Congratulations to all the voters, volunteers, organizers, and candidates who voted last night to put a powerful check on this administration and start building a better future for everyone in our country.
It was a historic night in so many ways: For the first time ever, over 100 women were elected to Congress—including a record number of women of color.
Sharice Davids and Deb Haaland will be the first Native American women to ever serve in Congress. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar will be the first Muslim women to serve.

Ayanna Pressley and Jahana Hayes will be the first black women to represent Massachusetts and Connecticut in Congress, respectively. Tish James will be the first black woman to be New York's attorney general.
Janet Mills will be the first woman governor of Maine. Cindy Axne and Abby Finkenauer will be the first women to represent Iowa in the House. Finkenauer and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are the youngest women to be elected to Congress ever.
The inspiring Lucy McBath became an activist for common-sense gun reform after her son, Jordan, was shot and killed. This cycle, she ran for Congress in a heavily Republican district in Georgia—and it looks likely she will win.
These historic firsts are important not just because representation matters (and it does), but because these extraordinary women will bring perspectives that have been absent from our policy debates for far too long.
There were important wins for rights, too, including Floridians voting to restore the voting rights of 1 million of their fellow citizens and Nevada approving automatic voter registration.
None of these victories would have been possible if people had simply given up after the heartbreak of 2016. They belong to all the volunteers and candidates who worked impossible hours, logged hundreds of miles, and knocked on countless doors.
Win or lose, what you've built will continue long after last night.
Our work is far from over. As we celebrate our wins, let's be clear about what's ahead.
This is a crucial step in a long road to repairing our democracy. It'll take all of us to do it. What a start this is.
