The organization Win With Black Women came together on a ZOOM call to strategize and support Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential bid. It was a momentous gathering, with over 40,000 Black women in attendance, raising a staggering $1 million for Harris' campaign. The call, which took place on Jul. 21, featured an impressive lineup of political and civil rights leaders, including Reps. Jasmine Crockett, Joyce Beatty, and Dr. Bernice King. The leaders emphasized the importance of unity and urged Black women to prepare for Election Day and help Harris defeat former President Donald Trump. Moderator Holli Holiday declared, "We have a plan. This is not arbitrary. We are ready."
The success of the call was unprecedented, as it raised over $1.5 million in just three hours. The organizers were thrilled with the outcome and took to social media to express their gratitude and encourage further donations. Crockett, who had to leave the call early to attend a hearing, wrote, "Thank you to my amazing SISTERS! Last night was historic, in a good way! While I had to hop off because this morning I have a hearing on the shooting that took place at Trump's rally, every minute that I was able to be on was empowering."
Crockett also urged attendees to study Harris' public record and use it to persuade potential voters that she is the best candidate to prevent Trump from returning to the Oval Office. The passionate politician has made it clear that she is fully committed to her party, regardless of who the nominee may be. She tweeted, "I have been clear about where I stand. I am ALL IN for VP @KamalaHarris. She's the VICE PRESIDENT... she's the second in command. She can & will finish the job!"
After President Biden's decision not to seek reelection, support and endorsements for Harris poured in. Prominent Democratic fundraiser Alan Kessler shared that his phone was continuously ringing as people showed their support for Harris. Another fundraiser, Matt Gorman, stated that donors who were once hesitant to contribute are now excited about the new presumptive nominee. "The energy in the last 6 hours has been reinvigorating and inspiring," said Gorman. This outpouring of support has resulted in $49.6 million in grassroots donations for Harris' campaign since Biden's endorsement.
However, in addition to financial support, Harris will need 1,986 delegates to officially become the party's nominee. As of Jul. 21, 531 delegates had already endorsed her, showing a strong backing for Harris within the party. With the continued support and determination of Black women and other supporters, Harris is well on her way to securing the nomination and making history as the first Black woman to become the Vice President of the United States.
