Twitter users say #ImStillWithHer after Hillary Clinton concedes
At about noon on Wednesday, Hillary Clinton made her concession speech before supporters in New York City, following Donald Trump’s stunning election victory. “Please never stop believing that fighting for what’s right is worth it,” Clinton urged those who fought for her but lost.
Following Clinton’s defeat, many of her supporters — both celebrities and everyday Americans — took to social media to express their determination, making the hashtag #ImStillWithHer a big trending topic on Twitter.
In her concession speech, Hillary Clinton inspired. They think they've buried us, but they don't realize we are seeds.#ImStillWithHer

I have never felt as much fear and guilt as I have today. I wish you were able to feel safe in your own country. #ImStillWithHer

Echoing her concession speech in 2008 after losing the Democratic primary race, Clinton closed this speech with a message directed at women and young girls.
“I know we have still not shattered the highest, hardest glass ceiling but someday, someone will,” the first female nominee of a major party said. “Never doubt that you are valuable, and powerful, and deserving of every chance and every opportunity in the world.”
