Dear friends,

President Biden passing the torch, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for President, sparked widespread excitement. Grassroots support for Harris has surged, with small-dollar donations totaling over $100 million and numerous endorsements.

Anxiety has turned into hope, determination, and exhilaration, with a renewed blue wave led by women rising to the top. Let’s all join together to continue the ascent.

We are coming up on 100 days to Election Day. There are lots of activities celebrating and collaborating for our win in November.

We are 60 days to Early Voting; what are your plans to march to the polls?

Please try to attend tonight’s call with the Virginia Victory 2024: “100 Days” Major Campaign & Coalitions Update!
