I Was One Of The 44,000

Vice President Kamala Harris: One Voice, One Fight: The Race to the White House

By Angela M. Coggs

This writer was one of the 44K Black Woman on a historical, meeting of the minds that had only one goal and one plan. To ensure current Vice President Kamala Harris obtains a NEW office in the White House. The vast of most of well-known people on the Zoom was remarkable however since everyone was there on their time and not in their official capacity and all attendees were asked not to share who was on the call and not to screenshot and share it on social media. While on the call, attendees were updated throughout the meeting about the number of attendees, money raised for the Harris campaign, and the fact that the Zoom call had gone viral within minutes.

On July 21, 2024, a significant virtual event organized by the Win With Black Women coalition took place. This Zoom meeting gathered an impressive 44,000 African American women and successfully raised $1.3 million in support of Kamala Harris’s campaign efforts. This initiative highlights the substantial mobilization and fundraising capabilities of African American women in political advocacy and their commitment to supporting influential leaders like Kamala Harris.

Win With Black Women is a collective of influential Black women from various sectors, including business, politics, and entertainment, and everyday people dedicated to empowering Black women and amplifying their voices in socio-political spheres.

On July 22, 2024, a notable Zoom meeting was held with 44,000 African American men, organized by the Win With Black Women organization. The event successfully raised $1.5 million in support of Vice President Kamala Harris. The significant turnout and substantial funds raised highlight the strong support Harris enjoys within the African American community. This fundraiser reflects the ongoing efforts to mobilize and unify Black voters ahead of the upcoming elections.

The Black community is a significant voting bloc in U.S. presidential elections, and its influence on the 2024 election will likely be substantial for several reasons:

1. **Democratic Support**: Historically, Black voters have largely supported the Democratic Party. Mobilizing and securing this support is crucial for any Democratic candidate. High turnout among Black voters has been pivotal in recent elections, including the 2020 presidential election and the 2022 midterms.
2. **Swing States**: In key swing states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, the Black vote can be decisive. High Black voter turnout in these states can sway the results in favor of one candidate.
3. **Policy Impact**: Candidates often shape their platforms to address issues important to the Black community, such as criminal justice reform, economic equality, healthcare, and voting rights. The responsiveness of candidates to these concerns can influence voter turnout and preference.
4. **Influential Leaders**: Black political leaders and activists play a crucial role in mobilizing voters, endorsing candidates, and influencing public opinion within the community.
5. **Young Voters**: The younger generation of Black voters is increasingly active and vocal about social justice issues, and their engagement can impact the overall political landscape and voter turnout.

Overall, the engagement and turnout of Black voters will be a key factor in determining the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. She is ready and I’m with her. #onevoiceonefight #winwithblackwomen
