President Trump isn’t the only one still talking about the remarkable 2016 election.
So is Hillary Rodham Clinton, defeated by Trump despite winning the popular vote.
In a new email promoting her group, Onward Together, Clinton refers to her 66 million votes — some 4 million more than Trump. And she notes that while she was knocked down, she wasn’t knocked out.
The organization, which features Clinton’s mantra “resist, insist, persist, enlist,” is urging supporters to continue making donations. Onward Together sponsors groups and candidates that challenge Trump.
“In recent months, we’ve seen what’s possible when people stand up for a fairer, big-hearted, more inclusive America,” said the group’s email, adding, “Chip in today to help Onward Together support candidates and campaigns championing the vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election.”
Clinton added:
Last year, in the midst of our disappointment and concern for the future of our country, this team banded together to prove that we were knocked down, but not knocked out. You marched, formed new organizations like the ones that Onward Together supports, attended town halls, and signed up to run for office in numbers we’ve never seen before.
We can’t slow down now. That’s why I’m asking you to renew your membership in Onward Together for 2018 by making a donation today.
In less than a year, Onward Together has supported more than ten groups and organizations doing absolutely incredible work to protect our democracy by advocating for voting rights, helping young people get involved in activism and running for office, and more.
In 2018, we’re taking the next step by expanding our mentorship program and holding our first Onward Together members event. We can only do this work with your support — please chip in right now.
Thank you — this means a lot to me,
Hillary
