RESIST, INSIST, PERSIST, ENLIST.” - HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
December 29, 2020 by still4hill | Edit
This comes late but perhaps not unexpected. After more than 12 years I am bringing this blog to a close.
There are several reasons for this decision, among them the new Blogger editor that I find difficult to navigate. But primary is the fact that we have achieved a goal, to defeat Donald Trump’s agenda.
I wish you all well.
"Take it from me: You can win by millions of votes and still not be able to beat Donald Trump.
I’m
committed to doing absolutely everything I can to help elect Joe and
Kamala. Because I know the stakes are too high for the people of this
country -- and for people across the world.
That’s why I’m teaming up with another former Secretary of State to have a conversation about this election. If you chip in to elect Joe, Kamala, and Democrats down the ballot, we could be sending you a special invitation to join us.
Chip in $25 or anything you can afford to the Biden Victory Fund and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to sit down with me and Secretary Madeleine Albright for a quick virtual chat. If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: $25 ➞ $50 ➞ $100 ➞ $250 ➞ $500 ➞ Other ➞ Campaigns are hard-fought and elections are hard-won -- and this has certainly been true this year.
But
with so much on the line, we can’t give up. We must do everything we
can to put a leader in the White House who will represent the best of
America and tackle some tough challenges like the COVID pandemic and
climate change.
Joe
and Kamala would have never gotten this far if it weren’t for
grassroots supporters like you. Thank you, Rosemary -- I’m proud to
stand alongside you in this fight.
Secretary Albright and I really want to meet one of the folks that got us here, and I’m hoping it will be you. Chip in $25 right now to Joe, Kamala, and Democrats across the country, and you’ll be automatically entered for the chance to be one of the grassroots supporters that Secretary Albright and I have the pleasure of meeting on October 20th.
I hope I’ll see you soon!
Onward,
Hillary Clinton"
The biggest factors she blames for her loss—disinformation, Vladimir Putin, and America’s deep political divide—will still be problems even if Trump loses, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee warns.Edward-Isaac Dovere Octob Only one Democrat other than Joe Biden has experience running for president against Donald Trump, and she’s not quite over 2016, or confident that Biden will be able to do what she couldn’t.
Hillary Clinton has been in lockdown like everyone else. It feels like Groundhog Day, she told me Wednesday afternoon. But existential exhaustion looks different for a woman who has spent the past four years thinking about the final month of the 2016 election—and who worries that Vladimir Putin, disinformation, and our deep political divides will still threaten American democracy even if Biden wins.
In many ways, Clinton feels vindicated by how the Trump presidency has played out, and by what Americans have learned about him over the past four years—including the recent revelation that he paid just $750 in federal income taxes in 2017. That “was even worse than I thought it was,” she said. But being right is a small solace. She was sitting in her home in New York, speaking with me over Zoom for a conversation you can hear in full on the latest episode of The Ticket. Chappaqua is not Washington, D.C. She’s not in the middle of the reelection campaign she’d like to be running right now. She pointed out more than once that she won the popular vote in 2016, even if she didn’t win the Electoral College, and she mentioned former FBI Director James Comey’s letter in the final week of the race seeming to reopen the investigation into her (and then Comey’s announcement that nothing had come of it). And to those who wish she would just go away? She thinks they feel a bit guilty, she told me: They don’t want to admit that she was right about Trump.
Over the last few years, when people would talk to me about a concern of theirs or a problem they faced, I found myself...
Posted by Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, September 22, 2020
I am deeply saddened by the news of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing. She was an American giant, a true champion of justice and equality, and a fearless fighter who paved the way for so many women, including me. There will never be another like her.
She also left us with clear instructions: No confirmation of her Supreme Court replacement until after inauguration day in January. We owe it to her to ensure her final wish is fulfilled.
Please join me in protecting Justice Ginsburg’s legacy by making a donation to Demand Justice, which is leading the fight to ensure that a new Supreme Court justice will not be confirmed until after inauguration day in January.
As you’re reading this, the Trump administration is working overtime to fill the Supreme Court vacancy with a radical, right-wing justice who will no doubt work to overturn the Affordable Care Act and Roe v. Wade, and reverse decades of progress Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought tirelessly for.
This is what they’ve been waiting for: an opportunity to pack the court with a conservative supermajority. But we won’t let them. Your donation to Demand Justice will help ensure Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s legacy is protected by honoring her wish: No confirmation until inauguration.
Donate now
As I reflect on the legacy Justice Ginsburg leaves behind, I keep coming back to this: The best way we can honor her is to fight hard to protect the fairness of our court. The legacy she leaves behind is far too precious to let the Trump administration undermine.
Follow @wedemandjusticenow on Twitter to stay up-to-date on all the ways you can be a part of this work in the coming months.
Thank you for joining me in this fight.Onward,
Hillary
I’m so looking forward to this just-announced virtual event: On Tuesday, October 6th, I’ll be joining Stacey Abrams -- along with singer, actor, and equal rights advocate Audra McDonald -- for a special evening in support of Fair Fight PAC and Onward Together.Get your ticket for the event now, and we’ll save you a spot.
Thank you,Hillary
It's crucial that Joe, Kamala, and Democrats down the ballot have all the resources they need to make these final few weeks count. The stakes in this election are high, the polls right now are tight, and this team knows best that presidential elections can come down to a narrow margin of victory -- or loss.
That’s why I’m joining Kamala Harris next Monday, September 14th at 6:00 pm eastern for a grassroots event -- to talk about how we must bring Americans across the country together to wage this fight.
I want you to be there for my first virtual grassroots event with Kamala. Chip in to power Joe, Kamala, and Democrats across the country to victory, and we’ll save you a spot to join us for this special event:
I wish Donald Trump had been a better president. Because America needs a better president than this. America needs a president who shows the same compassion, determination, and leadership in the White House that we see in our communities.
Throughout this crisis, Americans have kept going -- checking on neighbors, showing up to jobs at grocery stores and nursing homes. Because it still takes a village.
We need leaders equal to this moment. We need Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. But I can’t overstate how important our role is in helping Joe, Kamala, and Democrats down the ballot win this election.
I’m hoping you’ll join Kamala and me on Monday, September 14th at 6:00 pm eastern to discuss the work that needs to be done to elect Democrats down the ballot this year.
Will you pitch in now to RSVP to the virtual grassroots event?
I can tell you from experience: When an election is over, you really remember who stood by you, doing the hard work of fighting for every single vote.
So, I’m proud to stand with you, Joe, Kamala, and Democrats across the country in this fight -- and I hope I see you at our event on Monday, September 14th.
Onward,
Hillary
Below is the text of Hillary's speech on Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention. Take a look, or watch the full speech here.
So come November, if we’re strong together, we’ll heal together. We’ll redeem the soul and the promise of our country, led by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.Onward,
Hillary
Hillary Clinton never makes me cry. I love her (obviously). I am 100% with her on the "woulda, shoulda, coulda." She did not evoke tears in me. She never has that I can remember. She always makes me feel like we can do it. Tears this week, for me, have been for the Americans who have testified about the deported at the border and the departed from COVID-19; lost jobs, farms, and small businesses; caged babies at the border; Estella; Kristin; the list goes on. Did I cry when Hillary spoke? Not at all. Her message was strong, galvanizing as it always has been and remains. We can do this, and we must. N.B. It is not about making history or who makes it. It about saving our democracy. #GetOutTheVote
This summer hasn’t looked the way any of us expected. This administration’s handling of a global health crisis has been frustrating on their best day and cruel on their worst. I’m thinking of every person who has been affected by this pandemic, and I’m grateful for the continued work of those who have been keeping our hospitals, our businesses, and even our families running without much support from the White House.
I hope that, despite everything, you’ve found time to safely connect with loved ones, do some yoga, or disappear into a good book. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of my friend Louise Penny’s latest mystery novel, and while I won’t spoil anything, it was the perfect escape. I’ve also been spending much of my time talking with a number of smart, fascinating people for my new podcast, and I can’t wait to share those conversations with you.
Like many of you, I’m still mourning the death of Congressman John Lewis. John was the truest kind of patriot. He believed America could live up to its highest founding ideals of equality and liberty for all. I was honored to call him a friend, and I’m so proud of the Onward Together team members who have been relentless in making what John called “good trouble”:
It’s up to us now to continue John’s work, and I know I can count on this team to do just that. With November drawing closer, the most important thing you can do right now is to vote and ensure others can vote, too. Visit iwillvote.com to confirm your registration or request an absentee ballot, then head to democracydocket.com to get the latest in the fight to give more voters access to mail-in voting.
Onward,
Hillary
Statement from President Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton on the Passing of Congressman John LewisWe have lost a giant. John Lewis gave all he had to redeem America’s unmet promise of equality and justice for all, and to create a place for us to build a more perfect union together.
From a small farm in Alabama, to life-risking service in the civil rights movement, to three decades in Congress, he was always “walking with the wind,” steered by a moral compass that told him when to make good trouble and when to heal troubled waters. Always true to his word, his faith, and his principles, John Lewis became the conscience of the nation.
Hillary and I loved John. We were blessed by his friendship, support, and wise counsel. We’ll miss him so much, but we’ll always be grateful to God for his long good life, and grateful that he lived to see a new generation of Americans take to the streets in search of his long sought “beloved community.”
Our hearts go out to his son John-Miles and the entire Lewis family, his able loyal staff, and all who loved and admired him the world over.
We've got big news:
On Thursday, July 16th, we’re hosting an exclusive virtual event featuring Hillary in conversation with Pete Buttigieg. Congresswoman Lauren Underwood will be moderating, and we’d love for you to join us, too.
Grab your ticket now for the conversation at 7:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 16th.
It’s been a while since we all checked in, and there’s a lot to cover. After you get your ticket, you’ll be able to submit a question for Hillary and Pete -- you might even get the chance to ask your question live on Zoom during the event.
We hope we’ll see you for the virtual event next month:
Get your ticket
Talk soon,
Onward Together
Every time there is a long line at a polling place, a ballot isn’t counted, or voting is anything but a straightforward, simple process accessible to all citizens, it’s a threat to our democracy. In the midst of a global pandemic, it’s up to us to prevent a public health crisis from exacerbating a democratic one -- and one solution is dramatically expanding and safeguarding vote by mail so that Americans can cast their ballots this November.
Onward Together is proud to have teamed up with Democracy Docket in the fight to ensure that all Americans can have their ballot counted this fall -- while remaining safe and healthy.
Elections matter, and all too often, small differences in voting totals can change the course of history. In 2018, the U.S. Senate race in Florida was decided by 10,033 votes and the gubernatorial race was decided by 32,463 votes. A study of more than 30,000 rejected mail ballots found that the rejection rate for vote by mail ballots for the youngest voters was nearly ten times the rejection rate for those over 65. Meanwhile, mail ballots cast by minority voters were more than twice as likely to be rejected than mail ballots cast by white absentee mail voters.
Similarly, a study of rejected mail ballots from Georgia’s closely contested 2018 election found that newly registered, young, female, and minority voters were more likely to have their ballots rejected.
We can protect our democracy from unfair, unequal laws -- but we have to push election officials to do the right thing as soon as possible. If you’re able to, please make a contribution to fund this work:

Thank you, and onward,
Hillary

Hillary Clinton in a scene from the Hulu documentary “Hillary.” (Barbara Kinney / Hulu)
By Glenn WhippEntertainment Columnist
Since “Hillary,” Hulu’s four-part documentary about Hillary Clinton, premiered in early March, America has been devastated by a pandemic and convulsed by nationwide protests following the police killing of George Floyd.
Clinton understands the despair that drives the protests and pervades the country in the wake of more than 100,000 pandemic deaths and one in four American workers filing for unemployment insurance.
But she also sees signs for cautious optimism.
“If you look at the young people who are the primary movers of the peaceful protests in response to Mr. Floyd’s killing, I’m hopeful that this can break open not only some hearts but some structural impediments to equality and justice in a way that defies the distraction of the second-to-second demands of social media,” Clinton says.

George Floyd’s life mattered. Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor's lives mattered. Black lives matter.
Against a backdrop of a pandemic that has disproportionately ravaged communities of color, we are being painfully reminded right now that we are long overdue for honest reckoning and meaningful action to dismantle systemic racism.
If you’re in a place to give, donate today to support groups working to end systemic racial injustice, increase the elected representation of Black people, and fight Republican efforts to suppress Black votes.
Collective Future is working to recruit, train, and fund Black judicial, prosecutorial and attorney general candidates to ensure more representative leaders for the criminal justice system. Color of Change is a national online force dedicated to holding corporations and elected leaders accountable in the fight to end practices and systems that unfairly hold Black people back. Higher Heights supports the Black women’s leadership pipeline. And the NAACP Legal Defense Fund works toward racial justice through litigation, advocacy, and public education.
What we are seeing across the country right now is the power of solidarity. Many of us will never know the pain of having to sit our son or daughter down and have “the talk” about how carefully they need to act around police, because the slightest wrong move could get them hurt or even killed. But we can recognize our privilege, practice humility, and speak out against white supremacy in all its forms.
For many white people, conversations about systemic racism and our own privilege are uncomfortable. Here's what I've learned over the years: That discomfort is a good thing. It's a necessary part of examining our own biases and actions, and our own role in perpetuating inequality.
One of the most important steps we can take is to educate ourselves. Ijeoma Oluo’s So You Want To Talk About Race is a great and thoughtful starting point, as is White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism by Robin Diangelo. If you’re looking for fiction, Alice Walker’s The Color Purple and Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye both tackle race, gender, and violence through the lens of Black womanhood.
These are tumultuous times for America. But we cannot turn a blind eye to what's happening right now. We should listen, and learn, and participate in building a country that lives up to our highest ideals. The only way out is through.
I promise to keep fighting alongside all of you to make the United States a place where all men and all women are treated as equals, just as we are and just as we deserve to be.
Onward,
Hillary
As the COVID-19 crisis continues, it is clear that the security of November’s elections will rely on ensuring that millions of Americans can vote by mail. For many of us, this is a shift in the way we make our voices heard, and state officials need to take action immediately to ensure that all Americans, no matter where they live, can safely cast their votes.
Onward Together is proud to partner with Democracy Docket, a new effort to proactively detect and combat suppressive voting laws and practices that could sway the outcome of the 2020 elections.
Make a contribution now and help give more people -- regardless of party or political preferences -- a fair chance to cast their ballot while staying safe and healthy.
As with any method of voting, vote by mail is susceptible to the voter disenfranchisement that has plagued our country in recent elections. From Georgia to Wisconsin, we’ve seen the ways uneven access to the ballot can affect the outcome of critical races. Restrictions and voter purges disproportionately burden African Americans, Latinos, young and first-time voters, non-native English speakers, and voters with disabilities.
The team at Democracy Docket has identified more than a dozen specific laws in select states that they intend to challenge through litigation as we approach one of the most consequential elections of our lifetimes.
Now is when election officials must act, and it’s up to us to push them to do the right thing. Learn more at DemocracyDocket.com, then chip in to support this vital work:

Onward!

I wish we had @JoeBiden's leadership in the Oval Office right now.— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) April 28, 2020
Americans deserve a president who will manage the COVID-19 crisis with the compassion, competence, and respect for science we need to save lives and revive the economy.
Join us today: https://t.co/mxkpLIOEux pic.twitter.com/9TE9Lw9XBw
Today I am proud to endorse my friend Joe Biden for President of the United States.
I’ve known Joe for many years and across a number of settings: making hard decisions about war and peace in the Situation Room as Vice President under President Obama, building coalitions and getting things done as a Senator, and sharing quiet moments with his constituents. Wherever he goes, Joe’s the same person. He’s passionate about standing up for families and working to make their lives better.
More than ever, these tumultuous times reveal how desperately we need level-headed, solutions-oriented leadership. We need someone who listens to scientists, who acts with kindness and compassion, and who recognizes that America can and must lead the world in responding to this pandemic.
Joe Biden will be that president, and I hope you’ll join me in doing everything I can to get him elected in November. If you’re with me — and with Joe — make a donation right now:
Donate now
The world today looks very different than the one so many of us fought for in 2016. Like many of you, I’m concerned — not only about our current health crisis, but about the deep-seated problems in our democracy that it lays bare, from inequity in our health care system to the high-wire act demanded of too many working parents.
When I think about who I want leading us through this challenging time, there is no question: Joe Biden has the bold ideas, the smart plans, and most of all, the character to tackle this crisis and any others that come our way.
I am proud to call him a friend and colleague, and I will be even prouder to call him President of the United States. But first, we have to do all that we can to get to a win in November. Chip in right now to show Joe that you’re ready to do the work.
Onward,
Hillary
Hey there. I’m Joe Biden, and I’m writing to you about a truly special moment in our campaign.
This afternoon, Secretary Clinton announced she’s endorsing us. I’m so proud to have her support.
I got to see first-hand what an extraordinary leader Hillary was in the U.S. Senate. When I was Vice President and she was Secretary of State, we would often meet for breakfast meetings at the Vice President’s residence when we were both in town. That’s where I got to see why she was such a powerful, respected and admired voice all across the world. Hillary has long had the courage to speak out against the worst impulses in our country and the world — and to stand up for the best in us.
Hillary’s candidacy was historic. It is long overdue that we have a woman in the White House. I’ve already made public that my Vice President and partner in campaigning and governing will be a woman. For me, it’s the obvious, necessary and right choice.
In 2016, you and millions of others built one of the most impressive operations our party and country has ever seen. Volunteers, donors, and grassroots supporters that were passionate and organized and worked day in and day out for Hillary.
I know, for some of you, you are hesitant to get involved again on a campaign. I understand that. I am going to do everything I can to earn your support and your trust.
And I’m here to tell you that you’re not only welcome as part of this campaign: you’re needed.
The only way that we’ll defeat Donald Trump is with a broad coalition of folks working together to win what I have been calling a battle for the soul of our nation.
I’m not here to ask you for money — I know first I have to earn it. So I’m asking you to think about what is at stake, give me a chance, and join my campaign.
I’M IN FOR JOE’S CAMPAIGN ➞
This endorsement means a lot. I was so proud to support Hillary in 2016, and it means a lot that she’s supporting me now.
If you join me, we can win the battle for the soul of the nation. And by the way, when I say that, I’m not being nostalgic. I’m not trying to take us back to a country that never existed. The foundational principles of our country — that all men and women are created equal — are ones that we’ve never lived up to. But we’ve never given up trying to live up to them.
It is not enough to “go back” to anything. We have to take immediate, bold action to tackle the climate crisis. We have to relieve a generation of the crushing burden of student debt. We have to make healthcare a right and not a privilege. And to get there, we’re going to need millions of grassroots supporters to take action right away.
If you join our campaign, we will not just defeat Donald Trump. We will not just win the battle for the soul of our nation. We will transform it too.
To close, I will humbly ask:
Will you join my campaign today? I’d be honored if you did.
Thank you for everything,
Joe Biden

This is a difficult time. Medical professionals, grocery store employees, delivery drivers, mail carriers, firefighters, police, nursing home employees, and other workers are putting their health and safety on the line to get essential goods and services to the rest of the country. Meanwhile, millions of families are trying to balance work, childcare, homeschooling or distance learning, shopping, cleaning, and more -- all while staying inside.
If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d like to hear from you. Tell us what you’re doing to get through this time:
Leave a note
As for Bill and I, we’re catching up on reading, watching TV, taking walks while keeping our distance from others, organizing and filing stacks of paper that we let pile up, and staying in touch with our grandkids. Even though these times of separation are difficult, please remember that those of us who can stay home are helping to save lives by doing so. And even though we are apart, we are stronger together.
Whatever your situation, thank you for doing your part. And if you’re struggling, know that the entire Onward Together family is thinking of you.
Stay safe and healthy,
Hillary
First, to the medical professionals, grocery store employees, delivery drivers, pharmacy workers, mail carriers, firefighters, police, nursing home employees, and everyone else who is working to save lives and keep us all going right now: Thank you. I am so grateful for your sacrifice.Second, if you’re home and healthy, I hope you’ll take a moment to check out the efforts of a few of our Onward Together partners. They have worked quickly to fill gaps in our systems and help candidates quickly move their campaigns online, and I’m grateful for them, too.
- The National Domestic Workers Alliance has created the Coronavirus Care Fund to support the many nannies, house cleaners, and in-home caregivers who are navigating this crisis without paid sick leave or health care.
- The Collective Education Fund has teamed up with Humanity Forward to raise money for working families affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
- The Texas Civil Rights Project is calling on statewide officials to ensure that Texans will be able to vote safely
- Swing Left has launched a virtual organizing hub, so that you can help elect Democrats while still staying home.
- Latino Victory is providing daily updates on what current and former Latino Victory candidates and allies are doing to respond to COVID-19

Doctors and nurses on the front lines of the battle against coronavirus are facing unprecedented challenges. Some hospitals, especially in New York, are overwhelmed with patients, and hospital staffs are working tirelessly — sometimes without the proper protective equipment. On Thursday, one hospital in the area received a meaningful thank-you gesture from some famous New York residents. "Amazing !!! I am an ER doctor at Dobbs Ferry NY and just received pizza from the Clintons," tweeted Dr. Angela Cirilli, who works at St. John's Riverside Hospital and Dobbs Ferry Emergency Medicine in Westchester County.
"Thank you !!!! We NEED LEADERS LIKE YOU in this tough time. So much gratitude I didn't know how else to reach you to say thank you - Angela cirilli, MD," her tweet continued.

In these uncertain times, I wanted to reach out and let you know that I’m thinking of you.
We are a long way from knowing how this health crisis will play out or what long-term effects it will have. But we do know that we should be focused on two things:
- Preventing the spread of this virus as much as possible.
- Support hospitals, doctors, nurses, and state and local officials so they can take care of the seriously ill.
The experts have all told us that there are many, many people walking around with the virus by now. Many of them will not get sick, or will only get mildly sick; others will have a more acute experience. Millions of American workers do not have the luxury of staying home; it is absolutely critical that those of us who can do so. You’re not just protecting yourself by working from home, minimizing travel, and washing your hands. You’re protecting people in your community who may have a greater risk of complications from COVID-19 than you do.You and I know that this crisis is real. Call your loved ones and ask that they stay home if they can, or, if they can’t, that they take other precautions to avoid contracting or spreading the virus. The CDC is regularly updating their guidelines, and many national news sources have made their COVID-19 coverage available for free.And while we’re at home, one way that we can support our communities is to continue to call on our representatives to further expand paid sick leave and paid family leave, as well as unemployment insurance and Medicaid funds. Millions of nurses, caregivers, and food service workers in America don't have access to any paid sick leave. It's morally wrong and, as the coronavirus crisis makes clear, it puts us all at risk.As for us, Bill and I are at home, following the guidelines set by the governor and the CDC -- and taking the opportunity to catch up on some reading. I’ve particularly enjoyed The Dutch House by the wonderful Ann Patchett.If you or someone you know is concerned about food or housing security in the coming weeks, or if you’re looking for somewhere to make a donation, the following organizations are offering support during this crisis: Feeding America, No Kid Hungry, World Central Kitchen, God's Love We Deliver, Direct Relief, and the National Low Income Housing Coalition.Keep an eye out in the coming days for an update on how Onward Together partners are responding to the crisis, and what you can do to fight for our shared values from home. In the meantime, know that we’re thinking of you and your loved ones.Stay safe and healthy,Hillary
