When Hillary Clinton speaks to the Trayvon Martin Foundation in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, she will be continuing her groundwork to boost black voter turnout in Florida. Clinton will likely repeat familiar themes of importance to black voters, such as inequalities in the criminal justice system, voting rights, school segregation and gun violence, which helped her crush Bernie Sanders in the Florida primary March 15.
... A recent poll showed Clinton and Trump in a dead heat in Florida, a crucial swing state. A $1,500 minimum donation to the foundation is required to attend Saturday’s dinner, which will be held at the Embassy Suites on 17th Street. Clinton will also fundraise while in South Florida.
For Clinton, ... there is no question that more black Floridians will cast ballots for her than Trump. ... The question is whether she can turn out black voters in Florida and the nation at rates similar to ... Obama. About 13 percent of Florida’s voters are black... were a key to Obama winning Florida twice. In 2012, blacks voted at a higher proportion than whites nationwide and in Florida. In 2012, 93 percent of black voters cast ballots for Obama nationwide and 95 percent in Florida,... During the Democratic primary in Florida, 81 percent of blacks voted for Clinton.....
For her to draw in black voters in November, Clinton needs to continue to talk about issues of high importance in the community including affordable college education, unequal treatment in the criminal justice system and continuing Obama’s domestic agenda, say black elected officials.

The Trayvon Foundation is another social justice BLM-type organization that is receiving corporate support. It is unclear who is sponsoring hundreds of women to fly into Florida for a weekend vacation and then contribute an additional $1,500 for a Hillary speech. One has to wonder if the funds are coming from the Clinton Foundation and then just traveling in a circle.
Facts don’t matter to the liberals.
Trayvon’s momma is using her own son’s death to make a half assed political statement.
Trayvon’s death was brought about by Trayvon’s own bad judgement and poor impulse control, and “ghetto” attitudes.
Off topic,but did the astronomers ever name an asteroid after Trayvon Martin? I heard that was in the works at one time.
I read the other day (I’m pretty sure I posted something about it) that the ‘tres gone martin’ “foundation” folded about 3 years ago and the money now goes to some other questionable fund in the Miami area. Somebody drivin’ a Escalade fo sho.
Of course
Hillary should apologize on behalf of Socialists and Progresives for what they are doing to America.
It done burned up last week...
Note to Hillary; Don’t forget to put a few expired packets of Hot Sauce in your pocketbook. You will be meeting with black people, and you will want to impress them with your cross-cultural culinary appreciation.
Escalade no doubt equipped with 22” chrome spinner rims with an image of Trayvon in the middle.
Trayvon Martin has a foundation? Guess his folks are cashing in on his death! I just imagine that Al Sharpton is on their “board of trustees.”
Slacker. If you ain’t sportin’ at least 24’s in soflo you ain’t nuttin’.
Will Hillary reject the support of anyone who has ever committed a violent crime against a black person, convicted or not?
Going to sit this protest out.
Be like a KKK meeting in Daytona during black week.

Circle Of Mothers Restoration Weekend May 20 - 22, 2016
Embassy Suites, 1100 SE 17th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316
Ms. Sybrina Fulton established the Circle of Mothers as a way to empower women who have experienced the loss of a child, especially due to gun violence. The Circle is supported by a network of individuals and companies with a unified vision of a world free of senseless killings. Members of this national network have dedicated their time and resources in assisting affected mothers reconcile, heal, empower, and fellowship toward personal restoration and ultimately community building.
Empowering Mother’s of Gun Violence Victims
Leadership- Local chapters comprised of support mothers, who are charged with organizing interventions for affected mothers and their families
Support- providing financial, emotional, and technical assistance to families affected by senseless gun violence through the TMF Marion Evans memorial fund.
Implementing strategic events and activities designed to reinforce healing, restoration, and support for affected mothers and their families across the USA.
Healing- Hosting an annual circle of mothers restoration weekend and national conference to assist mothers in facilitating the healing process resulting in improved self-managing and coping skills.
I wonder if any news outlet will mention that it is a mostly black group, and bring up the fact that Hillary is struggling with white voters.
Wonder if she will speak in her negro/black dialect....i ain’t no ways tired.
Most likely, except it’s all womenfolk.
Segregated by both gender and race.
“empower women who have experienced the loss of a child, especially due to gun violence”
Oh yes, it would have been a lot better if they had been stabbed instead of shot.
What the.............no healing drum circle event? :)
senseless killings... the kind Martin was attempting.
