Every Voice.org Endorses Hillary Clinton

http://everyvoice.org/press-release/hillary-clinton-for-president

"Every Voice is a national advocacy group fighting for a democracy that works for all of us. We advocate policies at the local, state, and federal levels that will reduce the power of big money and give everyday people a bigger voice in our elections."

They uncover how special interests interfere with our democracy and block progress on critical issues like addressing climate change, preventing gun violence, and raising the minimum wage. And they have smart, concrete ideas on how to change our broken campaign finance system.
