[1]Women's March
John,
Joe Biden just announced that Kamala Harris will be his official running
mate.
This is a historic and long overdue moment that was made possible by the
hard work that women, including women of color, have been doing for
decades to make our voices heard. As the first Black and Indian American
woman nominated by a major party as a vice presidential candidate, Kamala
Harris has the chance to boldly lead and hold a seat at a table where
women – and especially women of color – have been excluded for too long.
But choosing Kamala Harris as a running mate isn’t enough,
John. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
both must be willing and prepared to champion a progressive platform that
will help working people from the bottom up. They must lead an
administration that will fight for policies that improve the lives of all
women, especially women of color and trans women.
This includes addressing their records on policing and criminalization of
Black and Brown communities and forging a new direction rooted in justice.
As our country navigates the aftermath of COVID-19 and calls for racial
and economic justice, it’s more important than ever to have a strong
vision for how our country moves forward, together. We can’t leave anybody
behind.
That’s why we’re asking Joe and Kamala to commit that their administration
will:
1. Appoint women who share our values of justice and equality to at least
half of all presidential appointments including the Cabinet
2. Ensure racial, religious, and gender identity representation for all
presidential appointments

will be women-led and committed to making women’s voices heard? It’s
important we make sure Joe and Kamala know our demands right away.

In 2020, women should be celebrated for being bold and visionary.
Women always make history. We are proud of so many of the women who have
run for office, especially in this time of Trump, and jumped into this
fight to defeat him. We know we'll make history again with a record
turnout of women voters in this election. Women can and will decide the
fate of this election. We are the majority of voters and we are ready to
win.
We’re setting our sights on November 3rd, but also on what happens after
that. There’s so much more we can achieve if we make sure the next
administration is committed to not just putting one woman in the White
House, but putting women leaders at the center of the Cabinet and every
department.

and our families. Please sign our petition tonight so we can make our
expectations clear to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Let’s get to work,
Rachel
