Record-Breaking Zoom Meeting Raises $2M for Kamala Harris
On Friday, a groundbreaking Zoom meeting took place, where over 164,000 white women came together to raise nearly $2 million in support of Kamala Harris, the American Vice President and a presidential contender.
The event, aptly named ‘White Women: Answer the Call,’ achieved a historic milestone by becoming the largest Zoom meeting ever held.
The virtual gathering, which united women from across the United States, featured a range of high-profile figures, including pop singer Pink and actress Connie Britton.
Both of these celebrities passionately endorsed Harris, highlighting her qualifications and the crucial need for support in her campaign.
Organized by prominent activist Shannon Watts, the event marked a significant achievement in online fundraising.
Watts noted that the Zoom call set a new record by surpassing 100,000 participants and saw grassroots contributions exceed $1 million within the first hour, eventually approaching the $2 million mark.
The sheer scale of the event led to technical difficulties on the Zoom platform, causing many attendees to switch to a YouTube livestream to continue participating.
This technical hiccup did little to dampen the enthusiasm and collective effort, showcasing the powerful impact women can have in shaping political landscapes.
One attendee reflected on the significance of the event, noting that the overwhelming turnout of 150,000 white women supporting a woman of color was a historic moment.
They expressed that the experience felt even more profound than witnessing Obama’s election, underscoring the historical importance of this collective action.
Kamala Harris, who was born on October 20, 1964, is of biracial heritage, with an Indian mother and a Jamaican father who immigrated to the United States.
Her candidacy and the support it has garnered reflect a significant moment in American politics.
