Five Mothers of the Movement endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton this weekend, with Trayvon Martin’s mother encouraging citizens to vote for her because “Your life depends on it.”
“I came all the way from Miami, Florida, with these beautiful mothers here, to tell you guys how important it is to get out and vote,” Fulton said at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Sunday. “You guys have early election here, there is no excuse. No excuse for you not to vote and for you not to take a family member or a friend. It’s important. Your life depends on it. Trust me, your life depends on it.”
Sybrina Fulton, Martin’s mother, joined other Mothers of the Movement this weekend campaigning for Clinton at numerous events in North Carolina. Mothers of the Movement is a group of mothers who have lost their children to police and/or gun violence. Fulton was joined by Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner; Geneva Reed-Veal, the mother of Sandra Bland; Lucia McBath, the mother of Jordan Davis; and Maria Hamilton, the mother of Dontre Hamilton.
