Hillary Clinton to Launch ‘Breaking Down Barriers’ Tour in Appalachia on Monday, May 2, and Tuesday, May 3, 2016 *Updated
On Monday, May 2, Hillary Clinton will launch her “Breaking Down Barriers” tour with a two day driving tour (welcome back Scooby van) through Kentucky and West Virginia, culminating on Tuesday May 3 in the Southeastern Ohio border region with a speech on jobs and the economy. In her remarks in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, Clinton said, “I want you to keep imagining a tomorrow where instead of building walls, we are breaking down barriers. We are making it more likely that Americans will be part of a prosperous, inclusive, decent society.”
On this tour, Clinton will meet with voters, hear their stories, and discuss how she will fight to raise incomes and expand opportunities for them and their families as president. The trip will underscore Clinton’s focus on the aspirations and needs of families, especially in often overlooked or underserved communities across the country, and what they are looking for in their next president.
