As a seasoned gamer who’s been through countless virtual worlds and political climates, I can confidently say that this Unite For America event feels like stepping into a new level of hope and unity. The A-list celebrities joining forces with grassroots groups for Kamala Harris is reminiscent of an epic raid in an MMO, where everyone works together to bring down the big boss (in this case, the challenges facing our nation).
On Thursday, numerous high-profile figures participated in an online gathering, which was orchestrated by Oprah Winfrey and aimed at bringing together various local political organizations backing Kamala Harris’ presidential bid.
To kick off the Unite For America call, Oprah acknowledged the presence of Meryl Streep, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Bryan Cranston, who joined via Zoom. She also spotlighted various grassroots organizations that have organized their own Zoom meetings in support of Harris lately, such as Win with Black Women, White Dudes for Harris, Win with Black Men, Republicans for Harris, Kamala’s Swifties, and more.
For a long time, I haven’t experienced such overwhelming joy and positive energy in a campaign as I do now,” the actor from ‘Breaking Bad’ expressed. “I’m incredibly grateful to Kamala for restoring optimism and silencing the cynicism, hostility, and bitter disputes that seem to pervade Washington. I hope we can harness this wave of positivity and take it to Washington. I’m here to lend my support. I couldn’t be more thrilled about this candidate. I believe she will make an excellent president.
Comedian Rock expressed, “I’d love to take my daughters to the White House to meet our future Black female president. I truly believe she would excel as president, and I’m eager to move forward, leaving behind all the hostility and negative feelings.
The performer known for his role in Zoolander commended Harris’ speech during the Democratic National Convention last month, expressing that the shift in momentum “from stopping Trump to supporting Kamala” has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Later, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was introduced by Oprah Winfrey, and then Senator Kamala Harris joined them both on stage to respond to a variety of questions posed by voters about issues such as border security, economic strategy, escalating living costs, women’s reproductive freedom, gun safety, and more.
In this collection of monitors, Oprah, I see the faces of those gathered here, and it’s clear to me that this is our America. In these challenging times when we’ve faced so much division fueled by powerful entities, it’s crucial to remember that a movement which emphasizes our shared experiences rather than what sets us apart is incredibly vital.
The vice president expressed that her campaign is centered on the power of our American identity and the ongoing movement she refers to as recognizing “a fellow resident in the face of someone unfamiliar.
Following Harris taking over as the Democratic nominee from President Joe Biden for the 2024 election, grassroots organizations have brought together people nationwide through extended, star-filled Zoom meetings, amassing millions in donations for the vice president’s campaign.
