I’m sure
you’ve seen the numbers. Kamala’s campaign has been breaking fundraising
records since the day she became the party’s presumptive nominee.

As a Black woman in politics who has been campaigning – and winning – for
over a decade, I can tell you why her fundraising numbers are so
groundbreaking.

In order to run for office, women and especially women of color face a
huge gap in funding. Donations aren't given freely, they're given
conditionally, and we're asked to justify every dollar spent.

Still, Black women have been the architects of movements, have built new
tables when they weren’t given a seat, and have delivered countless
election victories. We’ve done all this by building grassroots power, by
organizing our communities, and by putting in the sweat equity to move the
needle forward.

Just look at Shirley Chisholm. Her presidential campaign was underfunded,
she was denied support from her own party, and STILL she won the votes of
152 delegates across 12 states.

Her campaign is a clear case study. When Black women run for office, our
records and credentials are questioned. We are held to higher standards.
We have to work twice as hard with fewer resources. But our impact is
undeniable.

You may remember in 2019 when Kamala had to suspend her campaign for
President, she did so not because she wasn't a great candidate, but
because she ran out of money. Today, with the full support of the party
and big donors behind her, she has turned this election around and we are
on a path to victory.

What if we invested in and supported Black women candidates up and down
the ballot EVERY election cycle? What could our party look like? Not only
would we build a representative body that looks more like the people it
represents, but we could realize the bold transformative change our
communities deserve.

We’ve made tremendous progress thanks to people like you who are investing in
progressive causes and candidates of color at every level of government.
We’ve got the organizing power and the momentum – but it takes real
fundraising support to keep winning.
