Some Tweets from Kamala Harris


  •  Pinned Tweet
    100 Americans are killed by guns every single day. Gun violence is a national epidemic and it’s time we take action. Tonight I announced the executive actions I intend to take in my first 100 days as president if Congress refuses to act.
  • The rising cost of housing disproportionately impacts Black and Latinx communities. Having a safe place to live and raise your family is not just about shelter, it's about dignity. The Rent Relief Act would make that dignity possible for millions of families.
  • From day one, I made a commitment to you: Our campaign will reject all contributions from corporate PACs and federal lobbyists. We’re counting on real people to power our campaign. Chip in now:
  • My heart goes out to the students, friends, and families of the victims of this tragedy and my thanks go out to the heroic first responders. When as a nation will we decide to act?
  • This is outrageous: Sixty of America’s largest corporations paid zero federal taxes. Zero. As president, I’ll lift up those who need it most — the middle class — and ensure corporations pay their fair share. Our economy shouldn’t be built on the backs of working people.
  • My thoughts are with everyone in the Davenport community tonight who is affected by the floods — praying for everyone's safety.
  • Read this powerful testimony from the courageous activist on why our nation needs . Ady, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for speaking out.
  • Gold Star families have already sacrificed so much for our nation. It’s shameful Trump’s tax bill punishes them as it rewards big corporations and the top 1%.
  • Whenever and wherever we see expressions of hate, we must stand up and speak out. No one should ever be left to fight this fight alone.
  • Ellen Tauscher worked tirelessly for the people of California and always fought for what was in the best interests of our state and country. I am deeply saddened by her passing and know that she will be dearly missed. Sending my condolences to her family and loved ones.
  • Health care is a human right. It shouldn’t matter where you live, how much money you make, or whether you have a pre-existing condition. It’s incumbent we make that right a reality with Medicare for All.
  • My friend John Singleton chronicled the Black experience and culture through film with unmatched authenticity. He made room for our stories and our talent in Hollywood and showed all of us what's possible — on and off the screen.
  • As president, I’ll work with Sens , , and Kinney, as well as other leaders, to make affordable housing a reality for Iowa families. I am committed to this cause.
  • It’s been almost 10 years and the federal minimum wage is still $7.25/hour. That’s $15,000 a year in this country—not nearly enough to keep a roof over your head. We have to speak truth: This system isn’t working for working people. That’s why I’m fighting for a $15 minimum wage.
  • Better pay for teachers, Medicare for All, and debt-free college. These are some of the issues we fight for at this election. If you can, help our campaign to ensure we build a better, brighter future for our country:
  • When Susan got sick, she had to delay critical annual screenings until she and her husband paid off their previous medical bills. Her story is all too common in America. We must pass Medicare for All.
  • My first-grade teacher, Mrs. Wilson, sparked my love for learning and became a lifelong mentor and friend. She even attended my law school graduation. There are Mrs. Wilson’s all across this country who deserve a raise. It’s time we give them one.
