Some Tweets from Kamala Harris


  •  Pinned Tweet
    It’s an outrage that women have to work more hours to pay off their student debt. It’s an outrage new mothers are penalized for taking time off to care for their kids. It’s an outrage the wage gap has barely budged this entire century. Let's change that.
  • Republicans want to allow adoption agencies to discriminate against LGBTQ+ couples when they want to adopt children. We are better than this.
  • No corporate PACs. No federal lobbyists. You are the core of our campaign. Every dollar matters to ensure we can meet as many voters as possible. Pitch in today.
  • Here’s a startling statistic: Nearly one out of every five teachers in America stops teaching after five years. This hurts our kids. Teachers deserve our support. That’s why I introduced a plan to raise teacher's pay an average of $13,500 a year.
  • Almost one-third of transgender Americans already lack regular access to health care. This decision would make things worse. We will fight this.
  • Those at the top are thriving, while the middle-class is barely scraping by. One of the first things I’d do as president is reverse Trump’s tax scam and use that money to give the middle class a real tax cut.
  • I can’t sit by knowing Black women in America are far more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than others. Let’s do something about it.
  • Our team has set an ambitious fundraising goal to raise $500,000 online before midnight on Friday, May 31. I hope I can count on you to pitch in for our last end-of-month deadline before the presidential debates.
  • The Equality Act is critical to ending discrimination against sexual orientation and gender identity nationwide. No one should ever be fired from their job or dehumanized because of who they are. Republicans, bring this bill to the Senate floor now.
  • For every Republican lawmaker determined to restrict women’s rights to her own body, there are thousands of people across the country ready to speak up and fight back for our reproductive rights.
  • In case these past few weeks haven’t made it clear: Roe v. Wade is under attack. Lawmakers across our nation are trying to take a woman’s right to make decisions about her body away from her. We will fight with everything we have to protect that right.
  • It’s about time we close the gender pay gap that exists in our nation.
  • This is unconstitutional, un-American, and must be stopped. Period.
  • Together we are building a campaign that reflects America’s diversity.
  • Need some new recipe ideas for the weekend? I’ve got you covered.
  • The onus shouldn’t be on working women to prove they aren’t being paid equally, it should be on large corporations. As far as I am concerned, this is a simple American value — pay people for the work they do.
  • My message to corporations: Time to prove you're paying women equally.
  • Waitresses, rideshare drivers, short order cook. Those are just a few jobs almost 1 in 5 teachers work outside the school system just to make ends meet. When I am president, teachers will be paid fairly.
  • My Maternal CARE Act I re-introduced would establish implicit bias training through the medical profession to help ensure women — especially Black women — have access to comprehensive, culturally competent care. A healthy mom means a healthier baby, community, and society.
  • Let’s speak truth: Climate change is real.
  • I stand in solidarity with workers across the country on the picket lines today as they demand a $15 minimum wage, the right to unionize, and a workplace free from sexual harassment. Workers deserve the rights and benefits they've earned.
  • Pride is just around the corner and we want to make sure you get your merch in time for the celebrations. Don’t miss your chance to order our new pride line.
