White Women Answer The Call: Kamala Harris Zoom Event Shatters Records And Raises Over $2 Million
Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is continuing to shatter records left and right. In an unprecedented display of support, white women across the nation gathered virtually to back VP Harris’ presidential campaign. The event, titled “White Women: Answer the Call,” saw a staggering 164,000 participants.
The historic virtual event broke the record for the largest Zoom meeting ever and raised over $2 million in just under an hour.
The Zoom call, organized to rally support for VP Kamala Harris, featured high-profile speakers, including pop star Pink and actress Connie Britton. As the number of attendees swelled, the platform struggled to handle the load, eventually crashing and displaying a black screen with the message, “We’ll be right back.”
The technical glitches didn’t dampen the spirits of the participants, who remained enthusiastic and committed to the cause.
“We weren’t kidding when we said we broke Zoom,” quipped attendee Erin Gallagher when the video chat resumed. The event’s organizer, Shannon Watts, later posted on social media, “Kamala just broke Zoom again,” celebrating the historic turnout.
This massive mobilization of “White Women: Answer the Call” comes on the heels of a similar show of support from “Win With Black Women.” That virtual event saw over 44,000 Black women earlier in the week, who joined a zoom call to back VP Harris. The “Win With Black Men” zoom call swiftly followed the next day. Both events raising upwards of $1 million in the time frame of just a few hours
