Kamala Harris supporters launch new fundraising appeal for women after record-breaking appeal

A day after supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris broke the record for the largest Zoom meeting ever and raised more than $8 million for her presidential campaign, campaign organizers announced a new national call for the organization to host “tens of thousands” of people.

On Thursday, a Zoom fundraising event called “White Women: Answer the Call” asked women across the country to join the live discussion and invite their contacts to support Harris, with speakers including pop star Pink and actress Connie Britton. More than 160,000 people joined the call, overcoming technical issues to raise millions of dollars for the vice president, who is the leading contender for the Democratic nomination.

The call made headlines, with participants bragging about having “broken Zoom.”

Following the success of the event, Victor Shi announced Friday night that due to the large number of registrations received for their “Women for Harris” call, they had to move the date to accommodate the tens of thousands of people who registered.

“Donald Trump and JD Vance have pissed off women and that’s why they’re scared,” he wrote on the social media app X. “Women aren’t playing any games here.”

“But it’s going to happen,” he added. “Next Monday, July 29th, at 7pm ET. Please sign up and share below.”

Shi noted that actresses Connie Britton and Yvette Nicole Brown, as well as National Book Award finalist Min Jin Lee, will join the call.

The fans applauded the effort.

“They are afraid of women,” said @cookiemooshi.

“I can hear them now: ‘A woman? A woman? Oh no, what can I say?’ ‘I know,’ JD said, ‘let’s call them cat ladies. That’ll suit them,'” @JayneCudzil chided.
