Kamala Harris, Democratic presidential candidate said that during her travel across the country she could see people determined to turn the page on hatred and division, and chart a new way forward. Harris said in her speech at a church in Detroit, Michigan, “Here is what feeds my spirit as I travel across our beautiful nation from state to state and from church to church. I see faith in action in remarkable ways. I see a nation determined to turn the page on hatred and division and chart a new way forward”.
During her campaign, she said, ‘She found that Americans from the so-called red states and the so-called blue states are ready to bend the arc of history toward justice’. She said giving her description of the country, “I see an incredible number of our young people, our young leaders. Oh! It would inspire you to see how they are organizing for change. What I love about that generation, they are quite impatient in a most wonderful way. As I travel our nation, I see neighbours helping neighbours who were perfect strangers before. But now neighbours recover and rebuild from disasters”.
Harris also said there are those who seek to deepen divisions, sow hate, spread fear, and cause chaos but this moment in our nation has to be about so much more than partisan politics. She further added, “I see voters standing together to defend freedom. It must be about the good work we can do together, about our fundamental values, and about us as Americans and as people of faith”.
She asked, “Here in Michigan right now, each of us has an opportunity to make a difference, because in this moment we face a real question. What kind of country do we want to live in? What kind of country do we want for our children and our grandchildren? A country of chaos, fear, and hate, or a country of freedom, justice, and compassion?”.
She said, “The great thing about living in a democracy, as long as we can hold on to it, is that we have the power, to answer that question. So I’ll close by saying let us answer then, not just with our words, but with our works. Not just with our faith, but with our feet, as we walk to the polls”.
