Clinton revealed the news in an email to supporters and a series of tweets, promising to contribute to the "remarkable" spirit of political activism in the early months of the Trump administration.
"I believe more fiercely than ever that citizen engagement at every level is central to a strong and vibrant democracy," she wrote.
"To support this wave of grassroots organizing, we're launching Onward Together, an organization dedicated to advancing the progressive vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election. Onward Together will work to build a brighter future for generations to come by supporting groups that encourage people to organize and run for office."
The group's initial effort will support five specific progressive groups: Swing Left, which targets vulnerable House Republican incumbents; Emerge America, which will train Democratic women to run for office; Color of Change, which fights for criminal justice reform and racial justice; Indivisible, a group that's mobilizing a "resistance" against Trump; and Run for Something, which helps potential candidates find tools to guide their bids.
That support will take the form of direct funding as well as efforts to "amplify their work," Clinton said.


The last few months, I've been reflecting, spending time with family—and, yes, taking walks in the woods.
