On Friday, more than 164,000 white women came together virtually to contribute almost $2 million for Kamala Harris, an American vice president and presidential candidate.
Called “White Women: Answer the Call,” it turned into the biggest Zoom gathering ever.
Notable figures, like pop sensation Pink and actress Connie Britton, talked fervently about Harris’s qualifications and the significance of supporting her candidacy during the event, which mobilised women across America in support of Harris.
The meeting’s organiser, prominent activist Shannon Watts, reported that grassroots donations surpassed $1 million in the first hour and eventually approached $2 million. She also mentioned that this was the first Zoom call to ever have 100,000 attendees or more.
The event was so successful that many people decided to continue watching the live stream on YouTube after Zoom had technical difficulties as a result of the large number of attendees.
The success of the event has been hailed as evidence of the collective influence that women in politics may have.
“150k white women on #AnswerTheCall to support a woman of colour. There are no words to describe what I’ve been feeling the past few days. I thought seeing Obama get elected was the highlight of my life, but I was wrong. This is history,” an X user remarked.
Born on October 20, 1964 in the US, to an Indian mother and a Jamaican father, Kamala Harris has the dual multiracial identity of being a mixed-race person.
