Ryan - Oct. 19, 2016
October 19, 2016
RYAN: She looks at me the way I always wanted to be looked at by...everyone. I have a rare form of dwarfism known as spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenital syndrome. As an infant I had a lot of medical issues, a lot of surgeries. We were one of seven families that were chosen to go testify at a congressional hearing in Washington, D.C. We learned that, at that time, First Lady Clinton was going to be at this congressional hearing. I don't know what it was about our family that she spotted […]

October 19, 2016
CLINTON: I'm happy to compare my 30 years of experience with your 30 years. Back in the 1970s, I worked for the Children's Defense Fund, and I was taking on discrimination against African American kids in schools.

Martha and Sara - Oct. 21, 2016
October 21, 2016
MARTHA: We found out together at the doctor that, she came in doing the happy dance, you're pregnant! It's been a few years we'd been trying to have a child, and were very excited. At seven moths they induced labor because she was no longer growing and I was very sick. So it was time to have her come visit. And I'm sure everybody feels this way, but I have never seen anything more beautiful than my child. Just absolutely gorgeous. HUSBAND: Three pounds, ten ounces? MARTHA: That's right. The […]

Bernard Speaks about Early Education - Oct. 14, 2016
October 14, 2016
BERNARD: One of the many reasons I'm committed to this campaign is because Secretary Clinton's commitment to pre-k and early education. The basically going to give early education teachers a raise, which allows them to have stability, a fair wage, and then it's the stability for the children so their teachers are there, there's not a lot of turnover. Children need stability to have the best learning environment. Money for parents, because I gotta admit, daycare and pre-k is crushing in terms of cost and as a parents I would […]

Denise Speaks about Income Inequality - Oct. 14, 2016
October 14, 2016
DENISE: I take issue with the fact that black women work so hard, and we're only bringing home sixty cents to the dollar of what white men take home every day. The Secretary has a few policies that I really like. Number one: she's talking about an economy that works for everyone. If you do want to work, you should be able to get a job and earn the wages. You shouldn't be working more than 40 hours a week and still not be making a livable wage. Making sure […]

EBONY: An issue that I'm really passionate about is voting rights. I think it's something that people have fought long and hard for. I want to make sure that everyone has the right to vote, everyone has access to voting, and we can do it in the easiest way possible. A lot of people don't know why they should register to how, how they can register to vote, or they don't want to take that extra step.

NAKIYA: This is my son, Jaylon. He loves taking pictures and playing outside with the boys. Right now in Flint, we're still dealing with this water crisis. He's been exposed to high levels of lead, so he's been having trouble with school. It just wasn't my kids and myself poisoned in Flint, the whole Flint community was poisoned.

Loetta Speaks about Mental Health - Oct. 14, 2016
October 14, 2016
LOETTA: An issue that is very important to me is mental health. I went to school in Williamsburg, Virginia. While I was there, I experienced a lot of suicides. Another African-American female actually took her life. It was the first suicide I've ever had to deal with, and to know that she didn't feel comfortable speaking to us or just other people that were in the community and discussing it, was very difficult to handle for me. It's one of the big problems, and I think in the African-American community […]

Neisha Speaks about Immigration - Oct. 14, 2016
October 14, 2016
NEISHA: I am really passionate about immigration. I'm an immigrant. I moved to the U.S. when I was 11 with my sister, my brother, and my mom. Immigrants, especially Caribbean Americans, they get permanent residency, but often that final stuff to become a citizen is a little bit harder because it's so expensive. My mom had three of us. She couldn't afford to do it for all of us. Knowing that Hillary is committed to expanding fee waivers and educating immigrants about these opportunities really resonates with me. I cosign […]
