On Friday, over 164,000 white women participated in a historic Zoom meeting and raised nearly $2 million for Vice President Kamala Harris, who is running for President. The event, called “White Women: Answer the Call,” became the largest Zoom meeting ever held.
The gathering aimed to rally support for Harris and featured prominent figures like pop star Pink and actress Connie Britton, who spoke about Harris’s qualifications and the significance of backing her campaign.
Shannon Watts, the activist who organized the meeting, highlighted its milestone as the first Zoom call to exceed 100,000 participants. She reported that grassroots donations surpassed $1 million within the first hour and approached $2 million by the end. The event’s high turnout led to technical issues on Zoom, prompting many attendees to switch to YouTube for the live stream.
The event’s success is seen as a powerful demonstration of women’s influence in politics. One X user reflected on the momentous nature of the event, comparing it to the election of Obama. Kamala Harris, born on October 20, 1964, has a biracial heritage with an Indian mother and a Jamaican father who immigrated to the US.
