Statement From Senior Advisor and Chief Spokesperson Symone Sanders on Vice President Kamala Harris’s Voting Rights Listening Session With Black Women Leaders

Today – one day before the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s death – Vice President Kamala Harris participated in a listening session on voting rights with Black women leaders. Several of these leaders worked closely to organize this week’s Black Women Leaders & Allies Voting Rights Call to Action.

During the meeting, the leaders shared with the Vice President their insights and recommendations on how to achieve voting rights reform, ways we can work together to pass federal legislation that protects all American voters, and what is at stake for our democracy. The Vice President thanked the leaders for their work, their commitment to protecting the fundamental right to vote, and their perspectives.
