Lezley McSpadden endorsed Hillary for President. I hope she joins the Mothers of the Movement as well. These courageous women can make a real difference.
www.washingtonpost.com/...
The mother of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old whose 2014 shooting by police in Ferguson, Mo., ignited protests that lasted for weeks, is backing Democrat Hillary Clinton.
"When I lost my son, I lost my world. 'Big Mike' was a big boy, but he was my baby boy; my only child, and his life was brutally taken from me," Lezley McSpadden wrote in her endorsement statement.
McSpadden praised Clinton's "realistic proposals" on health care, housing, education and other issues, and she said Clinton is "the candidate most likely to achieve the task of working across party lines to get needed legislation passed."
McSpadden also appeared to make references to the Republicans running against Clinton and to President Obama, whose legacy Clinton regularly tells African American audiences she will protect.
This election season, we are at battle for the soul of our nation," McSpadden said. "If we want to continue to build on the progress made by our country, we need a president who is ready to lead and I trust Hillary Clinton."
