Sisters Lead Sisters Vote Joins the Black Women’s Leadership Collective
and over 10,000 Black Women to Thank Vice President Kamala Harris
JANUARY 24, 2025 (Washington, D.C.) Sisters Lead Sisters Vote joins the Black Women’s Leadership Collective and over 10,000 Black women leaders have joined together to express their gratitude, love and support for Vice President Kamala Harris in an open letter. The letter honors her lifetime of service, leadership, commitment and inspiration to millions, and especially to Black women and girls across America.
“Vice President Harris’s service ignited a movement, inspiring over 1,200 Black women to run for office and culminating in nearly 550 victorious elections in November 2024,” said Holli Holliday, president of Sisters Lead Sisters Vote. “Her groundbreaking presidential campaign further galvanized Black women nationwide, amplifying their political involvement and fortifying the civic framework within the Black community.”
Black women made history in 2020 as they publicly stood in support for then-Senator Harris to become the Democratic nominee for Vice President of the United States and during her historic tenure in the White House. Again in 2024, Black women quickly mobilized on behalf of her unprecedented presidential campaign.
Dear Vice President Harris,
On behalf of so many Black women across this nation and beyond, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your service, leadership, and unwavering commitment to justice and equity. Your historic role as the first woman, the first Black woman, and the first South Asian woman to serve as Vice President is a profound source of inspiration and pride for us all.
Your tireless work to champion causes such as voting rights, economic justice, healthcare, and equity for marginalized communities shows your dedication to uplifting all of us, especially those who have been overlooked for too long. You represent not only hope but a reminder that progress is possible, even in the face of great challenges.
We see your sacrifices, your strength, and your resilience, and we are encouraged to carry that same spirit into our own lives and communities.
Thank you for showing us what is possible when we rise, persist, and lead with courage.
We are proud to stand with you and support you as you continue to break barriers and make history. Please know that your work does not go unnoticed, and it inspires generations of women and girls to dream bigger and fight harder for the future they deserve.
With immense gratitude and admiration,
Notable signatories include Shavon Arline-Bradley, Joyce Beatty, Donna L. Brazile, Rhonda Briggins, Roslyn Brock, Yvette Nicole Brown, LaTosha Brown, Glynda Carr, Melanie Campbell, Yolanda Caraway, Christina Cue, Leah Daughtry, Hazel Dukes, Jotaka Eaddy, Secretary Marcia Fudge, Karen Finney, Tina Flournoy, A’shanti Gholar, Holli Holliday, Star Jones, Minyon Moore, Rachel Noerdlinger, Brittany Packnett Cunningham, Symone Sanders Townsend, Angela Rye, Hollye Weekes, as well as thousands of Black women from across the country.
