A little over a week ago, #WinWithBlackWomen, a group of black women who are currently supporting Kamala Harris kicked off their meeting on Zoom to both energize and raise funds for Presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris with over 44,000 attendees. Last Monday, it was the turn of “Black Men for Harris” with over 50,000 audience members. This past Monday night it was the “white dudes” turn, and it appears it was a stunning success.
Mark “Luke Skywalker” Hamill spoke on the call, along with Department of Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, Mitch Landrieu, former Mayor of New Orleans; Congressman Eric Swallwell; NSYNC singer Lance Bass, singer Josh Groban, actors Josh Gad, Sean Astin, Jeff Bridges, and Bradley Whitford; filmmaker J.J. Abrams; Governor of North Carolina Roy Cooper and many others.
According to the organizers, “Together, we aren’t going to sit around and let the MAGA crowd bully other white guys into voting for a hateful and divisive ideology because we understand that under MAGA everyone loses. We know that as white dudes, we have both a strong, and positive role to play in America’s shared future, and it begins with all of us cutting through the MAGA crap and reminding the folks who have co-opted American symbols what America actually means. We are excited to join together with you in this fight.”
