Notable figures who participated in the call included Rep. Lizzie Fletcher, Rep. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, singer Pink, soccer icon Megan Rapinoe, and actress Connie Britton. Megan Rapinoe expressed the historic significance of supporting a Black woman for office, emphasizing the opportunity to be part of an unprecedented moment in history.
The call successfully raised over $2 million, demonstrating the strong backing for Vice President Harris’ campaign. Singer Pink, who joined the call from Stockholm, Sweden, shared her enthusiasm for the cause, emphasizing the importance of supporting a candidate who values humanity and inspires positive change.
The event showcased the unity and determination of women from diverse backgrounds coming together to champion Vice President Harris’ candidacy. The overwhelming support and generosity displayed during the 'White Women: Answer the Call 2024' fundraising call underscored the collective commitment to advancing women in leadership roles and promoting a vision of inclusivity and progress.
