Friend --

We proudly announce that, Senator Kamala Harris has been selected as the nominee for Vice President of the United States.

Today we celebrate that Kamala Harris is the first Black woman to be selected as our Vice Presidential nominee-- this is truly a historic moment.

Joe Biden made an outstanding choice for the future of America by selecting Senator Kamala Harris as his vice presidential running mate. He chose someone who, from day one, can and will bring her lived and professional experiences to help craft dynamic solutions to issues like wealth and educational inequities, the economy, global concerns, climate change, criminal justice reform and community safety. 

Senator Kamala Harris represents the next generation of leadership that can unify the nation that is prepared and ready to lead on day one.

The road to 2020 is powered by Black women—16 million of us are eligible to vote, and we turn out at higher rates than most other groups. For decades now, we’ve been the determining factor in many races. It’s wonderful for our community and the country that we’re now beginning to see Black women’s investment in democracy translate into support for our leadership. 

The 2020 election cycle has the potential to be a historic moment for Black women, and Black women are again projected to be a critical and influential voting block in both the Democratic party primaries and general election. 

The selection of Senator Kamala Harris is a testament to this pivotal moment for our nation. We were proud to support her 2016 election for Senate, and since that time, Senator Harris has been a champion for the issues that are critical to Black women such as the economy, healthcare, education and gun safety. 

Since taking office, she has introduced and cosponsored legislation to:

• Raise wages for working people
• Reform our broken criminal justice system
• Make healthcare a right for all Americans
• Address the epidemic of substance abuse
• Support veterans and military families
• Expand access to childcare for working parents 

Sign on and congratulate Senator Kamala Harris and join us in cheering on their road to the White House!

Make sure to share our Facebook and Twitter posts and follow along on the road to Election Day. We look forward to working hard to make sure the nation sees how #BlackWomenLead when Kamala is sworn into office.

Onward,

Glynda
