Presidential. Election

“WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN.” WITH A LITTLE OVER 10 WEEKS LEFT WE CANNOT TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED. SO JOIN US.

Our very own BWOPA sister, Vice President of the United States, the Honorable Kamala Harris, made a compelling case for why she is the leader our nation needs to build an inclusive future. With so much at stake in this election, we cannot afford to sit on the sidelines.

The danger that Donald Trump, JD Vances and their extreme MAGA right-wing allies pose to our democracy and the well-being of our communities is too grave to take our vote for granted. Look up Project 2025.

With your help, on January 20, we will call Kamala Harris “Madam President.”
• If you or others you know would like to work on Kamala’s campaign, please use the link here.
• If you would like to volunteer on the campaign and take action for Kamala Harris, please use this link.
• We need your financial support, please contribute today to Kamala’s presidential campaign by using the link here.

With less than 60 days left, we cannot take anything for granted. This race is close. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are our best hope to protect and defend our democracy against Donald Trump, JD Vance and their extreme right-wing MAGA allies. Will you join us in fighting back?
