Kamala Harris is running to become the first Black female president in United States history. But to do it, she’ll need the support of ALL OF US.
Last night, Black women stepped up to quickly show their support. A group of activated and powerful Black women quickly set up a Zoom call – and they sent word out to join the call to support vice President Kamala.
And Black women came out, and opened up their pocketbooks. Media Take Out spoke with Kamala’s team this morning and confirmed that the call generated more than $1,000,000 from those in attendance.
A who’s who of prominent Black women delivered passionate remarks about the importance of uniting behind Harris, shared personal stories about her, and how to best support her as she seeks the Democratic nomination. Fundraising and voter registration were key topics discussed as well.
Reps. Joyce Beatty, Maxine Waters, and Jasmine Crockett spoke on the call.
Other notable attendees included DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, Maryland senate hopeful Angela Alsobrooks, Bernice King, Jenifer Lewis, Black Voters Matter co-founder LaTosha Brown, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc President Danette Anthony Reed, National Council of Negro Women President Shavon Arline-Bradley, Star Jones, Sirius XM host Reecie Colbert, Angela Rye, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority President Dr. Stacie NC Grant and more.
The Zoom call was organized by the network Win with Black Women, and moderator Jotaka Eaddy said it reached 40,000 attendees before it ended. The organization will send updates about Harris’ campaign to everyone who registered for the call.
It was announced that over $1 million in donations was raised during the call.
“We have a plan. This is not arbitrary. We are ready,” said Holli Holiday, another moderator. “We’re ready to get to work.”
Hundreds of attendees left comments in a rapidly moving livestream chat.
Were YOU win the call????
