Vice President Kamala Harris ending her speech with this hopeful message:

“To the young people who are watching, it is okay to feel sad and disappointed, but please know it’s going to be okay. On the campaign, I would often say, when we fight, we win. But here’s the thing, here’s the thing, sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn’t mean we won’t win. That doesn’t mean we won’t win.

The important thing is, don’t ever give up. Don’t ever give up. Don’t ever stop trying to make the world a better place. You have power. You have power, and don’t you ever listen when anyone tells you something is impossible because it has never been done before.

You have the capacity to do extraordinary good in the world. And so to everyone who is watching, do not despair. This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves.

This is a time to organize, to mobilize and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know we can build together. Look, many of you know, I started out as a prosecutor, and throughout my career, I saw people at some of the worst times in their lives, people who had suffered great harm and great pain and yet found within themselves, the strength and the courage and the resolve to take the stand, to take a stand, to fight for justice, to fight for themselves, to fight for others. So let their courage be our inspiration. Let their determination be our charge.

And I’ll close with this, there’s an adage and historian once called a law of history, true of every society across the ages, the adage is, only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.

I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time, but for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here’s the thing, America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a billion brilliant stars, the light of optimism, of faith, of truth and service.

And may that work guide us, even in the face of setbacks toward the extraordinary promise of the United States of America, I thank you all. May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America. I thank you all.”

in awe seeing kamala walk out to so gracefully give a speech that only a real leader could give at such a time as this. thank you vice president, we are so grateful for your leadership! proud to support you now and onward as we continue this fight toward a brighter future.

all I can say right now is take care of yourself. thinking about women, queer people, poc, minorities and any other group that is feeling rightly scared right now. we will get through this together. if history shows anything, it’s that we must fight and keep fighting against the hatred of those who try to otherize and silence us. and we must fight to protect democracy from the pure f*scism that has permeated this country. don’t let anyone tell you that you’re overreacting. we can see with our own eyes what is happening. there is importance of knowing our history (not suppressing it) and learning from it so it does not repeat.

i take the tiniest amount of comfort knowing that those who came before us also had hard times and periods of unrest in this country and somehow they made it through.

take one day at a time. it’s ok to be mad as hell, tired and hurt. stand your ground. check on your friends. we’ll pick up the pieces together 🤍

thinking about kamala and the incredible fight she put up under extraordinary circumstances. she should be proud of the movement and coalition she built for women everywhere. she is an amazing woman with a lot of fight left in her. let’s not forget the history she has already made by becoming the first female vice president! sending love and strength to her 🫶
