Jack,
Women of color are being overlooked as voters by the Democratic Party and progressive ecosystem this election cycle and that’s totally unacceptable. In a nation deeply affected by both racism and sexism, women of color are the only voting bloc with the lived experience of both forms of discrimination. They bring a unique blend of expertise, insight, and wisdom to tackle these critical challenges facing American society.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign recently endorsed the work of 13 independent super PACs, which focus on constituencies critical to Democratic victories, including women, African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, and young voters. But one key voting bloc was missing: women of color.
Sign this petition to urge the Democratic Party and its campaign consultants to make a significant, focused investment in mobilizing women of color for the 2024 elections.
| Women of color are a distinct and powerful electorate that deserves more than indirect outreach or being lumped into broader demographic categories. We need dedicated funding and grassroots efforts aimed specifically at mobilizing women of color, who are key to securing victories in battleground states.
We are calling upon the Democratic Party leadership and its affiliated campaign consultants to make a significant, focused investment in mobilizing women of color for the 2024 elections. Women of color are central to the Democratic Party's success, and the path to victory in critical battleground states requires their full engagement and participation. Despite their significant size and proven impact as voters, women of color remain an underfunded and under-targeted voting bloc in election strategy. While hundreds of millions of dollars are flowing into mobilizing other key constituencies, there remains an alarming lack of strategic focus and resources being invested in activating women of color. Sign this petition to urge the Democratic Party to focus on women of color before Election Day. | Our democracy cannot let this oversight continue. Women of color have shown their commitment to Democratic causes, turning out in record numbers in 2020. Yet, their crucial role in securing electoral victories has not been met with proportional investment in their political mobilization. Without intentional and strategic efforts to engage this group, the Democratic Party risks underperformance in key states and races.
The time to invest in women of color is now, and doing so will be critical to winning the 2024 elections. We must act quickly to ensure that women of color are empowered and engaged in shaping this election, and the future of our democracy. | | | Sincerely,
Democracy in Color
