Mark-Viverito organizes Latinas for Clinton
New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito is helping launch a Latina-to-Latina phone-banking program for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Mark-Viverito endorsed Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner for president, earlier this year.
She has since become a vocal supporter of the ex-secretary of state and an active surrogate on Latino issues.
Mark-Viverito, the first Puerto Rican to hold the post of council speaker, appeared at Clinton’s Brooklyn headquarters to help kickstart the “Mujeres (Women) in Politics” effort.
