Helped get 9/11 first responders the health care they needed.
In Beijing, told the world that womens rights are human rights.
As secretary of state, Hillary made LGBT rights a focus of U.S. foreign policy. She lobbied for the first-ever U.N. Human Rights Council resolution on human rights and declared that gay rights are human rights. And here at home, she made the State Department a better, fairer place for LGBT employees to work.
Hillary worked across the aisle to expand health care access for members of the National Guard and reservistsmaking sure those who served and their families had access to health care when they returned home. And she worked to expand the Family Medical Leave Act, allowing families of those wounded in service to their country to take leave in order to care for their loved ones.
As our nations chief diplomat, Hillary didnt back down when the stakes were high. As Hamas rockets rained down on Israel, Hillary went to the region immediately. Twenty-four hours after she landed, a ceasefire went into effectand that year became Israels quietest in a decade.
