HRC Launches Ad With Mother of Pulse Nightclub Victim Asking Americans to Vote for Hillary Clinton
-
In June, HRC made a significant policy announcement in the aftermath of the hate-fueled attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, endorsing common-sense gun violence prevention measures. They include limiting access to assault-style rifles, expanding background checks, and limiting the ability of suspected terrorists and those with a history of domestic abuse to access guns. For decades, LGBTQ people have been a target for bias-motivated violence; easy access to deadly weapons has compounded this threat.
In addition to her historic pro-LGBTQ equality platform, Hillary Clinton has a long record of advocating for commonsense approaches to reduce gun violence. While making clear her support for the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, she has promised as President to expand background checks, take on the gun lobby, and keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and other violent criminals. More on her platform can be found here.
The new ad is part of HRC’s unprecedented get-out-the-vote digital campaign aimed at 10 million LGBTQ voters and millions more of potential pro-equality voters nationwide.
