Getting closer every day to a Black woman being President.
Dear friend,
It’s been over a week since that riveting speech by Kamala Harris last Thursday, and it still hasn’t left my mind. Being on that floor and cheering on the Vice President as she accepted the nomination was history in the making, and it felt like it too.
The DNC was incredible, and I still can’t believe it’s already over. I had a great time, and so did my mother, Dr. Una S. T. Clarke. But while we celebrate, we also have to acknowledge that this isn’t over yet.
Whether it’s organizing on the ground for Kamala Harris or getting her message across to the voters, we still have lots of work to do. And I know my grassroots supporters like you can help.
The far-right extremists who have fought me at every turn are doing their best to make sure Kamala doesn’t win. They can’t stand that a Black woman is this close to the presidency – and that means we have to fight two times as hard to beat them.
Yvette Clarke is the ONLY Black woman representing New York in Washington. She has a known track record of bringing together moderates and progressives to pass progressive legislation to help communities of color, low-income families, immigrants, and more. If you'd like only the most important updates, you can opt for fewer emails here, but if you don't want to keep Yvette proudly representing Brooklyn, you can unsubscribe.
