Clinton Address National Council of La Raza Conference

Hillary Rodham Clinton addressed the National Council of La Raza Conference in Kansas City, Missouri this afternoon. During her speech, she built upon her economic speech from earlier in the day and referenced the economic inequality in the Latino community. She promised to fight for better economic opportunities and comprehensive immigration reform.

Clinton was not the only Democratic presidential candidate to speak at the conference. Senator Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley were also featured speakers. All three candidates spoke about the similar topics, and all three attacked Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for his comments disparaging Latino  immigrants. Trump’s presidential opponents were slow to speak out against his comments, a fact which Clinton called out asking, “Why did it take weeks for most of you to speak out?”

Tomorrow, Clinton is expected to be in Washington, DC where she will meet with Democrats on Capitol Hill. For all the latest campaign news, be sure to follow along on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters Conference

Monday, April 28, 2014

Hillary Rodham Clinton was the keynote speaker at the Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters Conference (HIPPY) in Washington, DC. Clinton helped bring the group to Arkansas, and HIPPY is currently active in DC and 21 states. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the group, she stressed the importance of early childhood education. She said, “It is now wonderful to see so many people in so many walks of life talking about early childhood, talking about the importance of parents, particularly mothers, as a child’s first teacher, and you’re a big part of that. The reason that so many – from elected officials to economists to education experts all over the country – are finally catching on is because the evidence has become so compelling.”
