Dear MoveOn member, 

Kamala Harris made history last night!

Tuesday marked the 100th anniversary of women winning the legal right to
vote, though many Black and other marginalized women had to keep fighting
for years to be able to cast their ballots. Last night, Kamala Harris
accepted the nomination as the Democratic candidate for vice president of
the United States.

Just how many cracks is Kamala making in the glass ceiling on her way to
becoming the first Black person, first South Asian American, and first
woman to ever hold the office of vice president—when, with each of us
doing our part, she defeats Donald Trump and Mike Pence in November?!

Harris sticker. Order yours while supplies last!

As a Black woman and advocate for justice, as the daughter of immigrants,
and as a compassionate and skilled leader, Kamala Harris is the exact
opposite of Trump and Pence's racism, xenophobia, sexism, cruelty, and
incompetence. 

Unlike Pence, who has a long history of virulent homophobia, Kamala Harris
is a champion for the LGBTQ community.^1 As California's attorney general,
she even officiated at the first same-sex wedding in the state's
history!^2

Senator Harris is a lifelong public servant and civil rights leader. She
was the first woman to serve as attorney general of California and only
the second Black woman in history to be elected to the U.S. Senate.

As a U.S. senator, Harris has fought to raise the minimum wage to $15 an
hour, make higher education tuition-free for the vast majority of
Americans, reform the cash bail system, protect the legal rights of
refugees and immigrants, and expand access to affordable, quality health
care. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, she's been a leading
voice in the fight to hold the Trump administration accountable. 

And most recently, in the aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd,
she introduced a bill to ban lynching in all its forms—something Congress
has refused to do for more than 100 years.

Now, Senator Harris is teaming up with Joe Biden to take on—and take
down—Trump and Pence. 

But the road to the White House won't be easy. We all know what's waiting
for Senator Harris in the hours, days, and weeks to come: a barrage of
hate-filled, sexist, and racist attacks from Donald Trump and his allies.

We won't let them get away with it.
