On Tuesday, Mothers of the Movement, a group formed by women whose unarmed black children were killed by police or gun violence, took the stage at the Democratic National Convention to urge for police and gun reform and support Hillary Clinton as the candidate most prepared to enact that change.
“I did not want this spotlight,” said Sybrina Fulton, mother of the late Trayvon Martin. “But I will do everything I can to focus some of this light on the pain of a path out of darkness.”
“This isn’t about being politically correct,” added Fulton. “This is about saving our children. That’s why we’re here, tonight, with Hillary Clinton. And that’s why, in memory of our children, we are imploring you—all of you—to vote this election day.”
