Recap: MoveOn for Kamala Harris National Organizing Call
The political world has transformed in the past week. But one thing that has remained the same is the commitment of millions of MoveOn members to elect progressive leadership and defeat Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans this November.
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, longtime friend of MoveOn, joined us on July 28 to discuss this historic moment in time, MoveOn’s plan, and how MoveOn members can and will make the difference over the next 96 days before the election.
More than 30,000 people have watched Nancy Pelosi speaking to MoveOn members and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president live on our call!
Pelosi is known for many things. She is the first woman to serve as speaker of the House, not once, but twice. She is one of the reasons why millions of Americans were able to have health care, because of her work on the Affordable Care Act.
She was the reason millions of Americans were able to get some help in the wake of COVID-19. She has held the line against Trump so many times, it’s hard to detail them all. But honestly, she really is the epitome of what it means to represent not just her beloved 11th District but, for 37 years, to be a values-driven, ethical, and tenacious force for good in this country.
Nancy Pelosi had a strong and powerful message for MoveOn members about what is at stake this November and MoveOn’s impact in making progressive change in the United States.
“I appreciate your [MoveOn’s] work, leadership—and really to the point of internally, we can get things done with our inside maneuvering, but not unless we have the outside mobilization to make it happen, and MoveOn has been so essential to the outside mobilization, whether we’re passing health care, saving health care [or anything else].”
When talking about what’s at stake this election, Pelosi doesn’t mince words, letting everyone know what we’re fighting for and how we can get Harris in the White House this November.
“We don’t agonize, we organize, and that’s what we want to do. We must own the ground with our mobilization. We must inspire with our message of inclusiveness and about the future, about freedom. And we must have the resources, the money to get that done. As you have seen on all three scales, Kamala Harris has just been remarkable in this past week. I am excited about her candidacy.”
“But Kamala Harris is about freedom. That’s why I’m so pleased to be with all of you and to sign in your presence my nominating petition for president of the United States of Kamala Harris, and I pledge my support for the candidate named below for the nomination by the 2024 Democratic National Convention as the Democratic candidate for president of the United States.”
Kamala Harris has united the Democratic Party and has ignited energy and enthusiasm that will lead her to the Oval Office this election.
We have a tough and challenging road ahead of us, but we can do it.
