I got something I want to yell.
My dream team is Kamala and Michelle!
Ring the bell, ring the bell!
Kamala and Michelle, if you dont want this country to go to hell!
With Harris in the pole position, she seemed newly energized.
The event raised a reported $1.5 million for Harris campaign.
It was one of the most exciting moments of my life, Lewis, 67, says through tears.
But prominent Black women in particular have put their considerable star power behind Harris.
Women need support and Black women in particular need support.
It [would be] beyond historic for her to enter that White House.
It just feels like Obama again, times ten.
I think that this is the right thing.
We need a new, energized voice in our party.
The old guard is changing.
Were getting new voices and new faces, and theyre diverse and wonderful in so many different ways.
That is very exciting, because I think it is time for younger people to be making these decisions.
You passed the torch to possibly the first African American female president, Fox says.
Dude, youre going down as a rock star if she wins.
My makeup artist was getting me ready and my assistant said to her, Are you registered to vote?
And that is what the other party is counting on, for people to not care.
Hollywoods power lies in people listening to what we have to say, Brooks says.
No one can afford to coast this election season, she continues.
And if people are too lazy to do the work, where are they going to get their information?
Hollywood can be vilified just as much as it can be lauded, she says.
Not all my followers agree with me all the time, but thats OK.
Sometimes you got to take heat.
Kempposted a messageof support for Harris on her Instagram account in solidarity with the Black Showrunner Collective.
Felicia Henderson, executive producer of NetflixsFirst Kill, crafted the statement that was posted to social media.
So, I dont know, is she Indian or is she Black?
He does not believe a Black woman or a Black man is more qualified than him.
He will never allow that to seep into his consciousness.
Thats how deep his racism goes.
Hopefully, though, there are others who finally see that and see his racism and sexism.
It started with Black women, but this was just a spark.
Youre going to see other groups come together and show their support for VP Harris, Love says.
Someone had to start it off.
Brooks agrees with Harris positions on the issues and thinks shes the best candidate for the job.
She also says that seeing the impossible made possible by a Black woman would be the ultimate motivator.
But right now Im thinking about survival.
I dont think this is optional.
I dont think this is ceremonial.
