“Unite For America 2024” - What Grassroots Groups Are Saying About the Movement
Africans for Kamala Harris
“As Africans, we are committed to lend our voices, votes, and resources to upholding the values of an America that creates opportunities for everyone to succeed, irrespective of color, creed, or gender.”
Bison For Kamala (a project of The Collective PAC)

Black and Jewish Women United For Harris
“Our group was formed to carry on the long history of Black and Jewish women working together. We continue to fight to move our country towards a reflective and inclusive democracy for women. Given this, we are thrilled to be a part of the #UnitedWeWin calls to bring us all together and to elect the first woman President who we know cares deeply about all of our communities, issues, and our country as a whole.”
CaregiversForHarris
“This moment of unity has made it clear: voters want to move forward, not backwards. #CaregiversForHarris understands the power of organizing for Vice President Kamala Harris, the promise of financial security, affordable childcare, aging and disability care, and how paid leave for families equals a strong economic agenda for the future. A Kamala Harris presidency will usher in generational change, raising the opportunity for affordable, quality care for our families that values the care workers who make all other work possible.”
Chefs for Kamala
“Food has the extraordinary ability to unite people and spark conversations that lead to meaningful change. Chefs for Kamala is focused on cultivating our passion for food and community to make a difference in the world.”
Clean Energy 4 Harris
“Two years ago, Kamala Harris helped pass the Clean Power Plan, which lowers energy costs, improves air and water quality, and creates more good-paying, clean tech jobs in cities across the nation. Trump has promised that, if elected, he will repeal this monumental law in order to please Big Oil. If you want to see new jobs, better technology, and healthier communities, it’s critical that we elect Kamala Harris, a champion of the clean energy economy.”
Dads for Kamala
“Dads for Kamala is organizing the nation’s dads to say ‘we’ve got you’ to the next president of the United States. The Vice President and Governor Walz represent a future that all of our kids can see themselves in. The Trump-Vance ticket represents a dangerous version of masculinity where men yell about everything but stand for nothing. We’re organizing ‘Caravans for Kamala’, groups of volunteers that are making trips to swing states and counties to canvas during early voting and get out the vote.”
Disabled Voters for Harris
“Disabled Voters for Harris stands at the intersection of urgency and solidarity, united by the life-and-death stakes that affect every disabled person. Our mission is to educate, empower, and make change happen. Whether it’s accessing insurance, affording medication, or ensuring that disabled children have what they need, this fight goes beyond voting—it’s about survival. We embrace all disabilities, from Deaf and Blind individuals to those with chronic pain, long COVID, and neurodivergence. While other groups choose when to engage, we work tirelessly to ensure accessibility for all. Together, we will make change happen.”
Diverse Web3 & DeFi Leaders For Kamala
“Diverse Web3 & DeFi Leaders For Kamala are looking to the Harris-Walz campaign to explore blockchain and cryptocurrency as part of their tech policy and economic agenda to foster inclusion, and ensure entrepreneurs and small businesses can compete in the global innovation economy.”
Hoops for Harris
“Hoops for Harris represents the sports-oriented nature of social and political activism in the United States. Basketball has been inextricably tied to politics in our country for over 50 years, dating back to the Civil Rights Era. Hoops figures, including George Karl, Gregg Popovich, Steve Kerr, and many others have consistently used their voices and influential platforms to speak about political leadership, matters of social justice, and more. Further, sports can serve as a metaphor for larger topics such as community and connection. The Hoops for Harris platform strives for exactly that.”
Jewish Women for Kamala
“In her remarks, Barbra Streisand underscored the stakes of the election, saying, “It’s been said that Jewish women are known to speak out and tell you what they think, and I’m one of them. I want a president who believes we can do anything if we work together and that’s why I’m thrilled to support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”
Men for Harris
“Millions of men from all walks of life are thrilled to support Kamala Harris for president because she is the most qualified candidate. We are tired of MAGA's toxic ideas about how to be a man. ‘Strong’ means looking out for one another, standing up to bullies, and helping to elect leaders like Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who will take us forward. We aren't going back."
Mamas For Kamala
“Kamala Harris is a champion for families across America. She understands the challenges facing today's parents, whether it's access to affordable healthcare, quality education, or ensuring economic security for working families. Vice President Harris has always fought for policies that protect our children and uplift our communities, making her the best choice to lead our nation forward."
Muslim Women for Harris/Walz
“Muslim Women for Harris/Walz know exactly what is on the line in this election: our religious freedom, our freedom of speech, our reproductive rights, our public schools, and the health and safety of our loved ones. As Muslims, we're obligated to fight for what's right and against injustice. We will do that with our votes, our volunteer hours, and our contributions. We're doing something, and we're not going back to the Muslim Ban.”

Older, Wiser Ladies (OWLs) for Harris
“By virtue of our hard-won wisdom and experience, we know this election is about more than just our self-interests, like saving Social Security and Medicare and ensuring access to eldercare. It's about making sure our children and grandchildren have access to childcare, reproductive rights, and, importantly, a chance to compete and a chance to succeed.”
Out for Harris
“Vice President Kamala Harris has been a tireless champion for LGBTQ+ rights, from the streets of San Francisco to the halls of power in Washington. While others pay lip service, she's been in the trenches, turning promises into policy. As LGBTQ rights and basic freedoms remain under attack, we have a clear choice: a convicted felon who thinks rules don't apply to him or Vice President Harris, a woman who's dedicated her career to ensuring the law protects us all. This is why grassroots supporters from across the country are uniting their communities in support of this campaign!”
OFA CA for Kamala (Former Obama Staff for Kamala)
“The interest and energy in the California Obama Alumni community has been extraordinary. We haven’t seen anything like this since 2008. The Obamas’ convention speeches reinvigorated that energy and gave us a clear call to action. We are answering that call the only way we know how: with a people-centered, data-driven organizing machine.”
Progressives for Harris
“We are excited to join the Unity Call as we unite in support of the powerful, dynamic ticket of Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz. This call represents our shared belief in the unique opportunity they provide to realize a vision of America where everyone can thrive.
“As progressives, we know the power of organizing and understand that change doesn’t happen without dedication and hard work. We are committed to digging in and doing the work necessary to elect this ticket in November because we know what’s at stake. With Harris and Walz, we have a team committed to ensuring that every person has a roof over their head, food on their table, access to good jobs, healthcare, retirement security, clean air and water, and a livable future.
“Together, with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the White House, we can build a better, fairer, and more just America."
Rally For Kamala (Caribbean Americans for Kamala Harris)
“We are a mission-critical grassroots mobilizing team of Obama, Biden, Warren, and Hill alumni of Caribbean-American heritage geared towards electing Vice President Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States.”
Rural Americans for Kamala
“Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have expanded the electoral map to include rural communities across our country. The values of freedom, choice, opportunity, and, most of all, being kind to our neighbors residing in our small towns. Rural voters are ready to be the margin of victory not only in the Presidential race, but in all down ballot races as well.”
South Asian Women for Harris

Tech4Kamala knows it’s crucial for all of tech to be represented, from the factory floor to the C-Suite.
“With her deep understanding of technology and innovation, Vice President Harris represents the diverse and dynamic spirit that drives innovation forward. We’re uniting to show that technology can be a force for good and that we stand behind leaders who share our vision for a more inclusive and sustainable world.”
Train Lovers for Harris/Walz
“For personal freedom, climate justice, and creating jobs, Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz are poised to deliver transformative investments in sustainable, safe, and reliable transportation for all people. Transportation is the largest sector of U.S. emissions, a frequent threat to youth safety, and a critical disability issue, but new investments in transit building on Vice President Harris’ work on electric buses and Governor Walz’ work on train investments could change all of that. We will win in November and then build beautiful fast trains!”
White Dudes for Harris
“We couldn't be more excited to be participating in the Unity Call. We stand on the shoulders of the incredible work of Win with Black Women and Win with Black Men. We exist to create space in the Democratic Party for white men to do their part to help elect Kamala Harris to the Presidency of the United States."
Win With the Black Church
“The Black Church has always played a vital role in the advancement of people and policies that make America a better democracy. This time, we have an opportunity to support the ascension of the first Black woman president of the United States. This is good news for us, and the Black Church PAC is energized to mobilize our faith communities toward that victory.”
Win With Black Men
“At this crucial moment in American history, the promise etched in the Constitution has the ability to be realized for all Americans. For each of our daughters, who we as parents and family say can achieve anything, there is a debt to be paid. We, no matter what side of the political aisle we are on, have a choice. Win With Black Men supports Kamala Harris not out of blind loyalty, but because the facts dictate we should.”

We hold significant power, and by joining together, we can fight for each other, our shared causes, and the needs of our communities. We believe that through collective action, we will win.
