Glamtush reports that more than 164,000 white women gathered online on Friday and raised nearly $2 million for American vice president and presidential hopeful Kamala Harris.
This online news platform understands that dubbed ‘White Women: Answer the Call,’ the occasion became the largest Zoom meeting in history
The event, which rallied women across America to support Harris, featured notable personalities, among them pop star Pink and actress Connie Britton, who spoke passionately about Harris’s qualifications and the importance of supporting her campaign.
Prominent activist Shannon Watts, who organised the meeting, noted that it was the first Zoom call ever to surpass 100,000 participants and announced that grassroots donations soared past the $1 million mark within the first hour and eventually got close to $2 million.
The event’s success extended beyond Zoom when the platform experienced glitches due to the high volume of participants, prompting many to switch to YouTube to keep watching the live stream.
The event’s success has been described as a testament to the collective impact that women can make in politics.
“150k white women on #AnswerTheCall to support a woman of colour. There are no words to describe what I’ve been feeling the past few days. I thought seeing Obama get elected was the highlight of my life, but I was wrong. This is history,” an X user remarked.
Kamala Harris has the biracial identity of being born to an Indian mother and a Jamaican father, both of whom immigrated to the US, where Harris was born on October 20, 1964.
