Twitter users say #ImStillWithHer after Hillary Clinton concedes

Clinton concession speech
Hillary Clinton: I hope Donald Trump will be a successful president 12:56

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.

Beyond Twitter, the show of support for Clinton extended through other social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram as well.

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.”

Today I honor HER. For her guts and her courage. For her ability to withstand vitriol and hate for years on end. For her willingness to face a bully again and again and not back down. For her 40+ years of service to our country. For her desire to include all people in her fight: black, white, gay, immigrant or otherwise. For her grace under pressure that continues even today. Not even for a moment did she ever consider giving up on us, so why in the world would we give up now? Mourn such a devastating loss? Absolutely. Lick our wounds and huddle together for whatever scraps of comfort we can find in this moment? Yes. But give up on our humanity? Never. Boots on the ground, people. Change always happens on the local level. Never underestimate the power of a determined heart. Because we are stronger together. And together we RISE. #imstillwithher
