WASHINGTON, July 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Supermajority, a leading
organization dedicated to gender equity and women's empowerment,
representing 530,000 members nationwide, proudly announces its
endorsement of Vice President Kamala
Harris for president of the United
States in the 2024 election.
"Kamala Harris has consistently
demonstrated her dedication to the issues that matter most to women
across America," said Taylor
Salditch, Executive Director of Supermajority. "From her
historic tenure as attorney general of California, where she took on powerful
interests to protect consumers and uphold justice, to her
groundbreaking initiatives as vice president to improve maternal
health and advance reproductive freedom, Harris has proven herself
a tireless champion for women and families."
As attorney general of California, Harris oversaw the second largest
justice department in the nation and confronted special interests
such as the gun lobby, big banks, and big oil. In the United States Senate, she continued this
advocacy, becoming a prominent voice for women's rights,
reproductive freedom, and electoral integrity.
"Vice President Harris's leadership has been transformative,"
said Jara Butler, chief impact
officer of Supermajority. "Her initiatives have directly addressed
the maternal health crisis, disproportionately affecting
marginalized communities, and have expanded access to vital
healthcare services for new mothers."
Vice President Harris launched the first-ever White House
Maternal Health Day of Action and introduced the Blueprint for
Addressing the Maternal Health Crisis. Her administration's efforts
include extending Medicaid postpartum coverage to a full year,
establishing the Maternal Mental Health Hotline, and safeguarding
Affordable Care Act provisions crucial to maternal healthcare.
Throughout her career, Vice President Kamala Harris has also championed economic
policies aimed at building economic wellbeing for all. She has
advocated for raising the minimum wage, supporting small
businesses, ensuring caregivers have paid leave, and closing the
gender pay gap. Her leadership reflects a commitment to addressing
systemic issues and creating opportunities for all Americans.
Supermajority is a women's equality
organization made up of women of all backgrounds, races, and ages
who are coming together to create a future where we are truly
equal. Supermajority is connecting women with each other and
building on our collective power by providing the information,
training, and resources to take action in our neighborhoods, our
