“I thank everyone for building a coalition that has been hard at work to support our campaign,” Harris said at the beginning of the two-hour call with thousands of supporters. “We can have an impact on people’s lives. … We know it is our calling. … It is about lifting people up and reminding them that we are a community of people who care. We have more work to do … We will get this done, and we will win, and it will be because we know what’s at stake.
The Rev. Leah Daughtry, a member of the Colored Girls and past CEO of the Democratic National Convention, said Harris’ candidacy has felt like the culmination of three decades of work and the sacrifices of ancestors who worked for but did not live to see this moment. Also on the call were representatives from the other Zoom-mobilized groups who expressed their appreciation for Win With Black Women’s leadership, as well as the heads of the four national Black Greek sororities who are working to mobilize voter turnout.
