Harris-Walz – September 21, 2024

Posted on September 21, 2024

It was another busy week for Vice President Harris and Governor Walz who have been criss-crossing the battleground states, releasing new ads, talking to voters, outlining their vision for a New Way Forward, fighting for women’s reproductive freedom, and much, much, more.

There are less than 50 days until we elect Vice President Harris and Governor Walz to the White House — and we can’t do it without you.

Remember: When we fight, we win.

⬇️ Keep scrolling to learn more about what Team Harris-Walz has been up to lately. ⬇️


FROM THE TRAIL: CONTINUING TO CHART A “NEW WAY FORWARD”

Coming off of her decisive debate victory, Vice President Kamala Harris, Governor Tim Walz, Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, Gwen Walz, and dozens of campaign surrogates criss-crossed the country to share their vision of a New Way Forward with voters in battleground states.

The New Way Forward Tour made waves on the air, online, and in print as the Harris-Walz campaign got out into the communities who will decide this election to underscore the stark contrast in this election.

Most recently, on National Voter Registration Day, Team Harris-Walz and the Democratic National Committee launched a Youth Vote Week of Action to encourage young voters across the battlegrounds to register to vote. This all-hands-on-deck mobilization will reach young voters where they are — online and in person, on campuses, and in their communities — and continue to forge our path to victory.


FROM THE TRAIL: KICKING OFF HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Team Harris-Walz launched historic actions to engage, reach, and mobilize Latino voters as Hispanic Heritage Month kicks off.

“Hispanic Heritage Month is an important moment to celebrate the richness and diversity of Latino communities across the country,” said Harris-Walz Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez. “Building on our historic efforts to break through and earn the support of Latino voters everywhere, this Hispanic Heritage Month will be a key part of our aggressive campaign efforts to make our case to voters about Vice President Harris, who has spent her entire career fighting for Latino families, and as president, will always focus on the issues that our community cares most deeply about.”

These efforts build on existing programs designed to meet Latinos where they are, like the campaign’s first-of-its-kind Latinos con Harris-Walz WhatsApp channel. To reach Latino voters in an increasingly dynamic media environment, these organizing efforts along with our WhatsApp channel target Latino voters with tailored, culturally competent content that reflects the Latino community.


SUPPORTER SPOTLIGHT: BRIAN IN TOKYO, JAPAN

Brian is a retired US Navy Captain from Gresham, Oregon. He is a registered Republican, but stands by his beliefs: “Come hell or high water I am voting for Harris and Walz.” He is especially focused on the Trump campaign’s policies against women’s reproductive health and Project 2025.

After hearing Vice President Harris’s speech at the DNC, he was not only reassured, but felt encouraged and hopeful by her message. In his own community, he’s determined to get the people around him to understand the importance of this election. He says that, for the first time ever, he is going to vote for every Democrat on every ballot. He supports Team Harris-Walz because he knows that our ticket will usher in a brighter future for all of America.

From our campaign to you: Thank you, Brian, for your dedication to electing Vice President Harris!


GET YOUR HANDS ON THE MOST ICONIC HAT IN AMERICA…

The most iconic political hat in America is back. Get your hands on the ultra-viral camo hat now before they’re gone again — your purchase will help power Team Harris-Walz and our campaign through November 5.

SHOP HERE

JOIN US FOR OUR FINAL SEPTEMBER WEEKEND OF ACTION!

Hey — it’s Roohi, the National Organizing Director here on Team Harris-Walz. We’re building major momentum in our fight for a New Way Forward where we protect reproductive freedom, strengthen our democracy, and ensure every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but to get ahead. But we’ve still got work to do in this final stretch of the campaign.

Whether you’ve been with us every step of the way, or you’ve recently joined the team, there’s still time to give this fight your all. Sign up below for our last September Weekend of Action and join us for the final stretch:


GOVERNOR SHAPIRO HAS A QUESTION FOR YOU…

Kendall, it’s Josh Shapiro. I can’t begin to tell you how inspired I am by the unbridled joy that Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are bringing to the campaign trail. I know them personally, and I can tell you that it’s not an act: it’s just who they are, and it’s why they’re the leaders America needs in the Oval Office. They have the compassion and vision to move our country forward.

And after watching Vice President Harris dominate on the debate stage, I know that she has what it takes to lead us to victory in November. But she needs YOU.

Will you start a weekly donation today to support my good friends Vice President Harris and Governor Walz? I see you’re a donor, so they’re counting on you in particular to power this campaign. The only way they can deliver the future we believe in is if they have the resources to win.

Thank you,

Team Kamala
