Kamala Harris recently engaged with "Win With Black Women," a prominent supporter group, through a video call during the final stretch of her campaign. This organization has played a significant role in raising funds and rallying voter support. As the push to encourage voter turnout gains momentum, these efforts have reached over 36 million doorsteps in seven pivotal states.

Women of color, especially black women, continue to be a vital demographic for Harris. Historically, over 90% of black women have supported Democratic candidates in multiple election cycles. Current polls reveal that while Harris enjoys a 13-point lead over Trump among white women under 30, this margin rises dramatically to 55 points among women of color in the same age group.

The importance of relatable canvassers is emphasized, as those who share backgrounds and experiences with voters can be more persuasive. The role of influential community figures, such as mothers and local leaders, is underscored. These individuals bring a deeply personal approach to voter engagement, highlighting issues that critically impact black women. Nikki Royal, a community leader, emphasizes that black women are advocating for the rights and freedoms of all genders, with a focus on moving forward with unity and communication.



Harris pays tribute to loyal group of supporters

The drive to get voters to the polls is not letting up. These get-out-the-vote movements have already knocked on more than 36 million doors in the seven battleground states. A key demographic for Kamala Harris in particular is women of color. I think black women have shown up for Democratic candidates over 90 percent, multiple election cycles now. And if those same black women don't turn out, I think she will have a far more difficult road. Statistically, black women are the most loyal of Democratic Party supporters. A recent poll indicates that Harris's lead over Trump among white women under the age of 30 is 13 points. But among women of color under the age of 30, this increases to 55 points. This is clearly not just an important demographic, it's possibly a defining one. And the best canvassers are those who look like the people they are persuading to vote. Because this constituency and because this demographic could be defining for this election is why we want to have people who come from those backgrounds and come from those communities actually talking to each other. Deeply personal story about me and who I am. It's not just a message that's important, it's the messenger as well. I'm also a mother of daughters. And I realize like right now when we think of all the issues that are on the line in this election, black women are primarily affected by each and every one of them. We have been demanding for years to come. The message might be just as important or even way more so when it comes from your grandmother, when it comes from your mother, when it comes from your aunt, when it comes from Miss Mary down the street who always has the barbecue in the summertime. The messenger matters even more so than the actual message. Local community leader Nikki Royal insists black women are fighting for the freedoms of all genders, not just their own. We're not going to return back to what it was. We're going forward with strength and numbers and communicating and connecting. Yes, with all humanity. The Sina statue in Philadelphia commemorates those who fought for freedom and joining their ranks this fall are the women fighting to ensure that this exercise in democracy does not end in a winter of discontent.
