The conversation is scheduled for 3 p.m. June 11 at Rainbow PUSH Coalition headquarters, 952 E. 50th St. in Chicago, as part of the organization’s four-day convention, which is themed “Fulfilling the American Promise.” Organizers said the event is free and open to the public, though registration is required.
Clinton, who served as First Lady, U.S. senator from New York, secretary of state and the Democratic Party’s 2016 presidential nominee, is expected to discuss issues related to democratic participation, voting rights, civic policy and efforts to engage future generations of voters.
Rainbow PUSH leaders described Clinton’s appearance as one of the convention’s marquee events.
“We are deeply pleased and profoundly honored to welcome Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton to the Rainbow PUSH Coalition Annual Convention as our esteemed guest speaker,” Jackson said in a statement. “At a time when the rights and freedoms of so many communities are under direct assault, having a leader of her stature and moral clarity in our midst is not just meaningful, it is necessary.”
