"Now, I know we have a long way to go. In fact, the future that I envision is going to take work from all of us," she said. "I want to knock down the economic barriers, the health care barriers, the education barriers, the kind of challenges people face every day. You're here tonight, and you're going to do everything you can in this next week, along with people in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, who are going to the polls. I hope you're going to the polls ."
