LET'S WIN THIS - TOGETHER!

Vice President Kamala Harris is on track to make history as momentum grows in support of her nomination for President of the United States.

With her expert legal mind, excellent communication skills, record of achievements as an elected official at the state and federal levels, and global recognition, she has the experience to deliver a true democracy for the people.

We are grateful to President Joe Biden for his bold, bi-partisan accomplishments, decades of service, and selfless act of patriotism.

And, we are excited to invite volunteers to join us at:

YOUNG VOTERS IN ACTION

This newsletter was organized by two of our New York for Harris Fellows: Finn and Theo.

Our training programs help young people to identify their talents and see themselves in our democracy by promoting civic engagement in local, state, and national politics so that students and young professionals can actively participate in shaping policy that will impact their futures. Thank you to our high school interns and college fellows for their work to save our democracy.

About Finn

Finn is a rising sophomore at UCLA studying public affairs and religion. Finn most recently worked on the Micah Lasher for State Assembly campaign, and for a faith-based workers' rights organization in Los Angeles.

"I got involved because I am passionate about defending democratic systems and Americans’ civil liberties. Trump is not merely an immoral person, but a serious threat to our freedoms and way of life in the United States."

About Theo

Theo is a rising sophomore at The University of Vermont pursuing a degree in Philosophy and Political Science. He joined this fight because of his belief that we are in an existential struggle for our democracy. 

“The stakes are not overblown––read what these people are saying. They have written out exactly how they plan to dismantle our democracy, starting on day one.

We can't let this happen."
