Letter | Hillary is the right leader at the right time for human and women’s rights issues

Hillary, the right leader at the right time

As First Lady, Hillary Clinton said “women’s rights are human rights.” As president, she’ll send that message to the world because she’s focused on issues important to women and our communities.

Whether it’s supporting women’s health care or equal pay, equality, or protecting our country, she’s been a strong leader. There’s no question she has the determination to get things done, and I think we need someone who is willing to actually work with Democrats and Republicans to improve our healthcare system, combat violence against women, and bring women’s rights into the 21st century.

It’s far past time for a woman in the White House, and Hillary is the right person to fight for us.
