Thank you, @KamalaHarris for always showing up and fighting for us. As an HBCU graduate, you haven’t just risen to the occasion—you’ve shattered barriers and set a whole new standard for leadership.
 
Thank you for being a powerful voice for justice and equality, and never backing down when it comes to protecting what matters most: our freedoms. Whether it’s fighting for women’s rights, defending voting rights, or standing up for those who too often don’t have a seat at the table, you’re there, leading the charge.
 
Thank you for being real about the struggles Black women face—the exhaustion so many of us feel, doing the hard work every day while rarely getting the support or recognition we deserve. But despite it all, you continued to lead with grace, courage and determination—reminding us all of what true resilience looks like.
 
Your leadership is a light for many of us who carry so much on our shoulders. We're grateful for the example you set, for serving with integrity and compassion, and for never giving up on us. Thank you, Madam Vice President 🖤

The Mountaintop

We lift every voice and sing — The name of a Black Woman who stood at the mountaintop. With audacity that reflected off the glass ceilings that shattered when you spoke her name.

Kamala Devi Harris. You stood. Standing in the spirit of Shirley Chisolm, Unbought, Unbossed and Undenying.

You dreamed. The girl who would not be deferred and went on to write a letter to the world with a signature that now reads — It’s Possible.

It’s Possible for a Black girl from Oakland, California, to see the mountaintop. And when she gets there to take the world off her shoulders and sit. Sitting in the resilience of Fannie Lou Hammer, you took the world by Storm. Never going Rouge and letting anyone take you out of character.

You laughed. You filled rooms with hope and integrity and lit paths with perseverance. You opened. Doors that had been closed. You stepped — Over walls that had been built.

You climbed. The Mount Everest of expectations with a smile that sat at the intersection of joy and justice. Because a country built in spite of you, you stood in spite of.

You are the embodiment of what can be, unburdened by what has been. Rest in the knowing that you are ours.

We thank you for the view from your moutaintop.

BREAKING: NAACP has filed an Amicus brief in federal court in Georgia, requesting the court deny the Republican National Convention's request to not count absentee ballots submitted over the weekend.

Make no mistake: THIS is voter suppression at work, but we’re fighting back.

Democrat Lisa Blunt Rochester has just made history, becoming Delaware’s first Black female senator.

The Philadelphia native defeated Republican challenger Eric Hansen for the U.S. Senate seat set to be vacated by retiring Sen. Tom Carper, who has held it since 2001.

The historic win comes eight years after she became Delaware’s first Black female congressperson and won every re-election bid since.

Congratulations, Senator Blunt Rochester!
