I lost my dearly beloved grandmother this week. It was the same day
@KamalaHarris
made history as the first Black woman VP nominee. Rough, wild day and week emotionally.
It gave me the chance for my mind to spend time singularly focused on Black women. We don't do that enough.
"To have a gay man in hip-hop doing his thing, crushing records—that is huge for us and for Black excellence. The way he’s unafraid to make people uncomfortable is so rock ’n’ roll. He’s a true rock star." -

Be an organizer. At least once. There is no substitute for the pure grit and scrappiness you’ll develop, the problem-solving skills you will learn, and it’ll make you a better person.
An honor to meet President Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton! 😊 Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for our country. ❤️🇺🇸
#HappyBirthdayKamala
Thank you for the barriers you’ve broken, cuts & bleeding you’ve endured bc of it.
Thanks for “eating no for breakfast” & not being burdened by what has been.
Thanks for showing our girls that they can be anything!
Thanks for not waiting for permission.

Men like

for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. We can do this y’all! Now is the time to be heard!! ✊🏾
As Kamala says, being a leader is not about who you beat down. It’s about who you lift up.
Here she is lifting up our Baltimore staff tonight. Cheers to our leader.

@KamalaHarris
had the best organizing team. Hands down.
So proud that they all cried, then got back up to figure out what their role in the fight would be next. I wouldn't expect anything less, neither would our forever boss

We need them in the fight.
#ILoveKamala
because, like every black woman in my life, she’s a strong fighter for what’s right and what can be, doesn’t take s*** from anyone, and uses her voice to lift people up.
It's shaping up to be a great summer -- already, folks have signed up for

is the first and only candidate to bring up BLACK WOMEN.
I was raised by a black women. I only want a candidate who can speak to, with and for them.
Damn, right! President Biden and Vice President Harris have delivered for us. And just like in 2020, we will vote for our own interests. That’s the Biden-Harris ticket!

She's the third person I know that has done that. I doubt she will be the last.

Remember when the only black woman running for president, on a debate stage, centered an issue and everyone's attention around black women. When no one else would. In ATL!
Kamala Harris is so dope!
It should go without saying, but I will say it here loud and clear 🗣️ EVERY ORGANIZER IS DOING MORE TO BEAT TRUMP IN 2020 THAN ANYONE ELSE
So no matter which democratic candidate they are working for, leave organizers alone.
They are saving the world right now.

So this is pretty special! We asked

supporters why they stand with her. Below is just some of what they said.
So proud to fight for (and with!) all of them to elect a strong, fearless leader!

After the debate, I got to catch up with Andrew, who graduated from my Back On Track program years ago in San Francisco. Instead of getting stuck in the prison system, he was able to get back on his feet.
I'm so proud of him.
Hi friends.
You can literally help the world out by staying in and watching Netflix (how cool, and rare, is that?!).
Let's go out when this ends, okay?
Speak on it! Sums up so much of 2019 for one presidential candidate.

Albert Einstein giving a lecture on relativity at a historically black university in 1946. His peers scrutinized him for it and the press ignored it, which is why this picture is so unknown.
Woke up thinking of all the amazing, whip-smart organizers who worked to defeat Donald Trump. They are the real MVPs of this cycle.
Just so proud, and feel so great about our future with them at the helm.
