Prominent 'Mothers of the Movement' With Dead Sons Rally For Hillary Clinton

The Hillary Clinton campaign released a gripping three-minute ad on Friday, titled 'Mothers of the Movement'. Titled 'Mothers of the Movement', the spot features Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin; Geneva Reed-Veal, mother of Sandra Bland; Gwen Carr, mother of Eric Garner; Maria Hamilton, mother of Dontre Hamilton; and Lucia McBath, mother of Jordan Davis.

"Each of us has lived through our own tragedies, which are all different," says McBath, whose son was killed at a gas station in November 2012, following an argument over loud music. Each of the mothers talks about how their children were killed, in each case at the hands of one or more police officers.

"This is what we need our officials to recognize," said Carr, in discussing issues of justice, police reform and gun-related violence and what Clinton can do to advance this critical American conversation.

Clinton has met with each of the mothers on the campaign trail, as shown in the ad. "The stakes are too high, the costs are too dear, and I am not and will not be afraid to keep fighting for common-sense reforms and — along with you — achieve those on behalf of all who have been lost," Clinton says.

As Garner's mother confirms, "She's been fighting for a long time with these issues." Meanwhile, Martin's mother praises Clinton, saying, "Finally, someone here is really willing to listen and to really stimulate change."

"She's been fighting for a long time for these issues," Carr adds again to reinforce the message.
