Friend --



The Democratic National Convention left us speechless last week. The representation, the calls to action, the acknowledgement of Black lives—the program owe us nothing.



Kamala Harris is the daughter of Black women’s centuries-long investment in America, and her leadership is built for this moment and will help deliver as she said Wednesday, “A vision that makes the American promise—for all its complexities and imperfections—a promise worth fighting for.”



Last Wednesday night, we gathered almost 300+ women from across the country to witness history while dancing to the sounds of MC Lyte and DJ Carmen Spindiego giving us all the sounds of phenomenal women.

Sen. Kamala Harris’ vice-presidential acceptance speech on the third night of the Democratic National Convention signified a historic first for a Black woman.



She showed Americans from all walks of life exactly why Joe Biden selected her as his running mate and why America needs her in a top leadership position. In addition to being immensely qualified to serve as vice president, she comes armed with a lived experience that speaks to the urgent concerns of women, voters of color, immigrant families and many other often ignored communities that make up the backbone of America.



Black women at all walks are playing a defining role in fighting for the soul of America. Last night, Senator Harris not only carried the legacy of Black women leaders who were defenders of our democracy  with her on the stage.   She went one step further and said their names, Mary Church Terrell and Mary McCleod Bethune. Fannie Lou Hamer and Diane Nash. Constance Baker Motley and Shirley Chisholm.  



These very women are running for office and heading to the polls in every corner of this country. Activate or Reactivate your membership today and help uplift Black women’s votes, voices and leadership.

Senator Harris has what it takes to help deliver on the Biden/Harris ticket’s vision of a healed nation where all are welcomed, treated with dignity and afforded equal opportunities. When she said, ‘today the country feels distant,’ she spoke to the displacement that millions of Americans are experiencing as they struggle to survive the coronavirus pandemic, massive job loss, escalating racial tensions and worry over their day-to-day existence. Our country is indeed at an inflection point, and we need leaders who will help not only bring us back from the brink of catastrophe, but also move us toward a shared, prosperous and peaceful vision. 



Onward,
