Vegas Hillary, Vegas
Las Vegas ONE members attended a town hall meeting at Canyon Springs High School yesterday, hosted by Hillary Clinton.
Senator Clinton spoke repeatedly about the need to fight poverty.
The Clinton campaign was kind enough to allow ONE volunteers to greet attendees with ONE pamphlets and set up a ONE information booth in the lobby.
73 new members signed the declaration, including some students from Canyon Springs who held a forum earlier in the year about poverty at their school. They are excited to participate in their first presidential election as members and representatives of ONE.
91 year old activist Harry Krogan also signed the declaration. Harry said, “If you guys are fighting to educate women and children in impoverished countries, then I am with you 100%.”
