PROGRESSIVE WOMEN’S ALLIANCE
OF WEST MICHIGAN

A STATEMENT FROM THE PWA BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

We do not have to tell you that as a nation we stand at a monumental crossroads. After saving democracy by unseating a twice-impeached, convicted felon and making record investments in our country's infrastructure, President Joe Biden has decided not to seek a second term and has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. We are grateful to President Biden for his lifetime of service to this country.

 

This November, we have a chance to elect a new generation to the White House. Vice President Harris is a smart, experienced, no-nonsense champion of women and children who left Supreme Court Justice Bret Kavanaugh speechless when (as a Senate Judiciary Committee member) she asked, "Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body?" (He couldn't).

 

Because she is the person we need in the White House, and because we believe she can stop the former president from regaining the White House, the Progressive Women's Alliance of West Michigan endorses Vice President Kamala Harris for President. In doing so, we join our state's Congressional delegation, many of her would-be opponents, and the large and small donors (many of them first-time givers) who set the biggest single-day fundraising total in U.S. history last weekend.

 

We’re inspired by the vision for our country and its people that Vice President Harris shared this week:

 

“We are not going back. Back to a time without Social Security and Medicare, which Project 2025 seeks to abolish. Back to insurance companies' ability to deny coverage based on our preexisting conditions, a cornerstone of the Affordable Care Act, which Trump and Vance seek to repeal. Back to a time when women were not free to decide for themselves if, when, and how many children they would have. Back to a time when members of our LGBTQ+ community could not marry the person they loved.

 

“And we are not going back to having a would-be dictator, twice-impeached convicted criminal and sexual predator who drove up the national debt, bungled the critical first weeks of a pandemic causing countless deaths, stokes political violence, and overturned Roe in the White House again.”

 

Kamala Harris for President.
