The energy we’ve been feeling since VP Kamala Harris became the candidate has been undeniable. Jasmine says she hasn’t felt this level of hope since Obama’s campaign in 2008. But the more successful Kamala’s campaign becomes, the more concerned we're getting about extremists resorting to undemocratic tactics. (It wouldn’t be the first time, after all!) In Georgia, some very concerning disenfranchisement efforts are already in the works.
But as much as we need to be aware of those tactics, we cannot let extremists cast a shadow on our joy. Our guest this week, Holli Holliday, was such a delight and shared some words about the importance of doubling – no, tripling – down on hope. She also had great advice about how to respond if we hear neighbors or family members repeating racist misinformation about Kamala. It’s all about relational organizing!
The next exciting event in our Momonomics campaign is coming up soon and you’re invited! You’ve probably heard your friends and neighbors talking about the economy, but it can be hard to know how to respond.
Join us on Tuesday August 13th at 7:30pm ET for an Ask Me Anything event that’s all about the economy. When you RSVP, you can even submit your own questions! Learn more and sign up here.
