[ [link removed] ]Ayanna Pressley for Congress
Last night as I stood on the floor watching Kamala Devi Harris accept the
party’s Presidential nomination I was overcome with emotion and gratitude
as I sat in the historic nature of this moment. I thought of the
generations of mothers and daughters who have hoped and dreamed of this
moment. We deserve this. We have hoped, prayed, organized, worked,
persisted, and fought for this moment.
I held a photo of my mother Sandy Pressley in my pocket each night of this
convention. Like Kamala’s loving mother, I know my mother was in that room
in spirit. They knew this moment would come. There is nothing more
powerful than a parent with unshakable faith in their child’s brilliance
and possibility.
Kamala sees all of us in our multitudes and that is why we see ourselves
in her. She has worked low-wage jobs. She has taken on abusers. She has
led with compassion. She has, daily, defended, protected and fought for
the people. All of us.
What a beautiful and historic moment.
To return to the city that raised me, Chicago, as the Congresswoman from
the city that changed me, Boston, it was beyond meaningful to look up on
that stage and see this brilliant Black woman lay out her vision as the
next President of the United States of America.
The work continues. We have 70 days to make history and to make change.
I’ll be in states across the country and right here in Massachusetts
meeting voters in community, organizing, and making the case for the
Harris-Walz ticket.
We have an awesome opportunity in front of us. Let us keep our eyes on the
prize and work everyday to make it a reality. A more just America is
possible. We are building it together.
[ [link removed] ]For our mothers, for the generations of Americans who fought for a
joyous tomorrow, and for our daughters, I’m going to do everything in my
power to elect Kamala Harris and keep up the fight for policies centered
in humanity, peace, and love. If you’re able, please pitch in
$25 or
anything you can to support our movement.
Onward,
Ayanna
