Over the weekend, President Biden surprised the nation by announcing he would not seek reelection and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for the upcoming presidential election. In response, the grassroots movement Win With Black Women quickly mobilized, organizing a significant call that drew over 40,000 Black women and raised more than $1.5 million in just three hours in support of Harris.
This powerful demonstration of unity highlights the formidable strength of grassroots movements. Despite political uncertainties, the dedication and activism of groups like Win With Black Women provide hope for a united and progressive future. The response to Biden’s decision was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for his service.
