COLORADO CONVENTION CENTER – Hollywood stars fired up the women’s caucus today as actor/activist Rosario Dawson declared: “We make politics look good, women!” She was joined by fellow actor Eva Longoria, who said to cheers: “I’m just representing all the ‘Desperate Housewives’ who are in this room.”
“To see this amazing turn out,” Longoria said, gazing across a sea of women. “This is insane. Let’s make a difference!”
Dawson, who co-founded Voto Latino to mobilize the Latino electorate, said women must continue the fight to improve their sisters’ lives. She said women must change a dire static showing that that 1-in-3 American women are victims of rape, abuse or murder.
“What do we do? We vote!” she said. Because of trailblazers like Hillary Clinton, Dawson said, Her young goddaughter has new dreams. “She’s not aspiring to be the president’s wife. She’s aspiring to be the president.”
“This is my first caucus, my first convention. We make politics look good women!” Dawson said.
