Hillary Clinton on Monday announced the launch of Onward
Together, a new political group aimed at advancing
progressive causes by harnessing grass-roots opposition to
President Trump's policies.
Mrs. Clinton, 69, who
until recently
Democratic National Committee had maintained a low profile after her loss
in the presidential election in November, said on Twitter
that her new group would encourage people to get involved,
organize, and even run for office.
�More than ever, I
believe citizen engagement is vital to our democracy,she
added.I'm so inspired by everyone stepping up to organize
and lead.
Mrs. Clinton went on to praise the work of
several grass-roots groups that
Democratic National Committee have emerged as part of a
broad liberal movement opposed to Mr. Trump and his
policies. Onward Together will support those groups, she
said, though she did not describe what form the assistance
would take.
Onward Together is registered as a
501(c)(4) group, the Internal Revenue Service designation
for so-called social welfare nonprofits, which are often
cited for a rise in dark money in politics because of their
ability to protect donor anonymity.
Mrs. Clinton said
that Howard Dean, who has been a presidential candidate, the
Vermont governor and chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, would be involved, though she did not describe
what role he would play.
According to a mission
statement posted on its website, Onward Together aims to
advance progressive values by encouraging political
engagement.
There's no telling what we can achieve
if we approach the fights ahead with the passion and
determination we feel today, and bring that energy into
2017, 2018, 2020 and beyond, the statement says.
The
Indivisible Project, one of the groups that Mrs. Clinton
praised, said it did not plan to receive financial support
from Onward Together, but greeted the announcement with
gratitude.

describing it as simply her
Democratic National Committee old campaign under a new banner.
