We are SO excited by the energy and enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign! The amount of endorsements, volunteers and grassroots donations are amazing! And we feel buoyed by this response and excited for this campaign.
Unfortunately, we are already seeing racist and sexist attacks that the right is throwing at Kamala. And we know it will only get worse. But there is something that each and every one of us can do to fight back against these attacks. We can speak up.
We know that Vice President Kamala Harris is an incredibly accomplished lawyer, prosecutor, former state attorney general, former senator and has spent almost four years serving as Vice President. She’s been elected to multiple roles on the state and federal level. So when someone tries to claim she isn’t qualified or experienced, speak up. When someone wants to focus on her gender or the color of her skin, speak up. They make these attacks because they don’t have anything substantial to say. They know she’s experienced, but they also know that to some people it will be more compelling to yell out DEI and imply that she hasn’t worked just as hard, or even harder than every white man in similar roles. We won’t stand for that.
Together we can take away the power of the racist and sexist attacks against the Vice President. But it’s going to take all of us speaking up. So let’s go!
This is going to take ALL of us
