Hillary Clinton and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) shared their experiences and offered advice to the young women in middle and high school at the annual Girls Build L.A. leadership summit in downtown Los Angeles. Both Harris and Clinton encouraged the young women to find issues they are passionate about and be active in changing what they don’t like about the world. “Stand up,” Harris told the cheering crowd. “Students who ask for help do eventually do better,” Clinton told the crowd. Harris suggested that the young women find friends and mentors who challenge and support them, and then eventually become mentors themselves.
