Kamala Harris Tells Voters to ‘Honor the Ancestors’
Senator Kamala Harris participated in a virtual campaign rally in Milwaukee, urging early voters “to honor the ancestors” by casting their ballots in the presidential election.
I was so excited to hear, I was speaking with various Milwaukee leaders, and I was so excited to hear about how at the very first hour of early voting this morning, people were lined up. And I just want to say thank you for that, because what a great beginning. Now we’ve got to see it through. But what a great beginning. Wisconsin, you’re the key. Milwaukee, we need you. Even though some people are trying to confuse folks about the election and the process of voting, some people are trying to suggest that your vote won’t matter, no, they, what they understand is that when you vote, you have power. They understand the power of your vote. That’s why they’re trying to discourage you. We vote to honor the ancestors, which includes folks like the great late John Lewis. We vote to honor the ancestors like those suffragettes 100 years ago this year, who passed and helped pass the 19th Amendment. We vote because we know what’s at stake, from health care to the economy to the standing of our nation and the unity of our nation. And we vote because we know our power.
