Hillary Clinton said now is the time to embrace the spirit of unity, referencing the most recent terror attack in London as she praised London Mayor Sadiq Khan for his 'steady, determined leadership.'

Clinton spoke for about 15 minutes on Monday in front of several students, grass-roots organizers and political figures at a fundraiser in Baltimore for the Elijah Cummings Youth Program in Israel where she encouraged teens to 'reach out to the world and understand what is happening.'

The former Democratic presidential nominee began her speech by acknowledging the victims of the two recent terror attacks in the United Kingdom where a combined 29 people were killed.

The former first lady offered her support to Khan, who was criticized by President Donald Trump over the weekend in social media postings.

'It's a time for steady, determined leadership, like we are seeing from local authorities in London, including the mayor of London,' Clinton said.

'This is not a time to lash out, to incite fear or to use tragedy and terror for political gain.

'Normally this would go without saying, but we are not living in normal times.'

Her remarks at the event were less political and did not seemingly focus on the November election.

The fundraiser was for the Elijah Cummings Youth Program in Israel, which is a cross-cultural collaboration between the representative and the Baltimore Jewish Council that aims to foster students from the region.

Clinton also stressed the importance of developing religious tolerance through educational initiatives.

'When violence motivated by hatred from, Portland, Oregon, to College Park, ends the lives of young Americans, this program's mission of spreading tolerance is more urgent than ever,' Clinton said.

'I'm asked quite often these days, what can we do? And the answer is as varied as the questioners,' Clinton added.

'There are so many ways for us to reach out, bring people together, set some common goals and work toward achieving them, to help build that brighter future for generations to come and, yes, for building leaders by building bridges, not walls.'

The former senator also encouraged event attendees to recognize the dangers of climate change following Trump's announcement that he would pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement.

Cummings' youth program pays to send Baltimore high school students to Israel as part of a study abroad program.

The Maryland representative was not in attendance at the event on Monday, as he is recovering from heart surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
