On Monday, Hillary Clinton spoke at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition‘s annual convention in Chicago, Illinois. The organization, founded by Reverend Jesse Jackson, invited Clinton to speak about a number of topics including gun violence. Clinton’s primary focus was gun violence and introducing legislation to require background checks for the purchase of a firearm. She spoke about the importance of reducing gun violence saying, “I think saving our children and other people from gun violence is a civil rights issue right now in America.” A video from Clinton’s speech is below.

While in Chicago, Clinton attended a fundraiser with Michelle Williams. The event was hosted by Tim Cole and Jon Steele, Kevin Conlon, Dania Leemputte, Molly and Bill Mahoney, Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, Bill Singer, Amy Singh, Chuck Smith, Sandy Wall, Anne and Marcus Wedner, and Ann Ziegler.
