Onward Together announced their “launch” on May 15, 2017. Shortly before their launch, Politico reported that “The former secretary of state is building a new political group to fund organizations working on the resistance to President Donald Trump’s agenda.”

Despite the fact that Hillary Clinton’s name does not appear as a director, trustee, on the board, or under payroll, the entire organization is promoted by her as it being hers. Additionally, she had contributed $800,000 from Hillary for America (her presidential campaign) to Onward Together just two weeks before its public launch, accounting for 25% of the overall donations. She also solicits for donations, and is seen in countless photographs with those she refers to as “OUR Partners.” But then, why would she have her name listed, when Mark Elias of Perkins Coie, LLP, 2016 presidential campaign attorney, is listed as the incorporator? Anyone can create a corporation, and pay an attorney to register it for them, so that their name isn’t reflected on public documents.

Their mission is quite clear. They are focused on Hillary Clinton’s mission for the Democratic party, and a photo with a quote from Hillary is seen on their home page, stating, “Let’s keep fighting and let’s keep the faith. And let’s lift each other as we move forward on this journey.” – Hillary Rodham Clinton. The home page opens with this sentiment: “Onward Together is dedicated to advancing the vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the 2016 election. By supporting groups that encourage people to organize, get involved, and run for office, Onward Together will advance progressive values and work to build a brighter future for generations to come.”
