Hillary Clinton's low key presidential campaign for 2016 begins in Iowa in April 2015
04/15/2015
Hillary Clinton meets small groups at a community college and in other settings in Iowa and talks about the economy, inequality and families. The effort is definitely low-key to mix with ordinary people and be in touch with them using smaller personal settings, in contrast to the 2008 campaign.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
