voting in his first election my daughter's you know her Reproductive Rights are incredibly important um you know standing up for thank you Ben thank you Ben and I think standing up yeah yeah I think I think what said we're ready to turn the page thank you Ben Ben Siller so we are all together United for one cause and that is to get out the vote for kamla Harris Joe takea EDI is here and you describe win with black women as a collective Love Letter to ourselves I know you all been doing this a long time

I was on a lot of calls with y'all in 2020 but we ain't never seen nothing like this before right stand up tell us what is happening explain explain the power explain the power of what happened three hours after kamla we knew that she was going to step into this candidacy first of all Oprah this is amazing to just be United and that night black women everywhere we knew one thing we wanted to gather in our joy and we knew that we needed to get to work and on that night black women the 44,000 on

that zoom and the additional 50,000 black women and our friends that joined to watch that Zoom what we knew was that it was a moment in our country to show what black women have always done that love letter that I often speak of yeah that love letter is a letter that started years before any of us in this room you myself were even born and it started by black women years ago who knew this moment would be here but they worked and they knew they wouldn't see it but one day we would and I just

think that it is an honor for all of us to be able to usher in this moment knowing that those who watered this Mighty field yes are now allowing us to eat of the fruit whoa of the trees that is there of the fruit thank you so much and so as I said that call from win with black women is what inspired all the other groups so white dudes for Harris raised a bunch of money lead organizer Ross Morales roetto is here right Ross and I hear you I hear that my my my my producer

told me you've been working in politics a long time and that really for more than 20 years and that you said you hadn't seen anything like this I've never I haven't seen anything like this since 2008 yeah when President Obama was elected and when he got elected it was about a newness and a hope this time it's about an exuberance and an excitement that you only get from hardfought wins and hardfought losses and knowing what's at stake and that's why we're not going back we're not going back we're not going back thank you Mr white

dude thank you so much khil Thompson is the founder of win with black men khil what do you want black men to know about this election well thank you uh Oprah Miss Winfrey for allowing us to be here and share in this amazing moment tonight uh Brothers men who are watching this and enjoying this moment you have a choice I choose experience and fortitude over something else I come from a Litany of amazing black woman Kath Jan Megan Janelle and I have an amazing seven-year-old CEO who runs my life hopefully she at home finished her

homework um but we have a chance to do a performance review and give a promotion to the best qualified candidate to be president of the United States okay so K let me just ask you this sorry sorry on the way here when I was coming through the the airport black man stopped me and he said he knew I guess he knew I was coming here for something like this and he goes well I'm just tell you I'm voting for Trump and I'm voting for Trump because he gave me that check and so I've heard that

from several people that I got the check he gave us the check and so therefore forget about everything else it's about the checks well what he doesn't know is that Congress actually paid for the check and the American people paid for it 45 just signed it so yeah okay look there's a so what do you want to say to that kind of thinking because a lot people feel that way we're not a monolith you can have your Viewpoint and Views uh for where you believe but I think choosing if I have the choice to go

into someone to make the best decision for my family I don't want someone who has 34 convictions I don't want someone who is going to choose hate over choosing the best possible way to unite us as a country and so I see vice president Harris as being the best person to do that thank you very much sir thank you Shannon Watts Shannon Watts is the organizer of white women answer the call J what do you want to say what do you want to say specifically to white women in Oakland County white women throughout the United

States about this moment in answering the call even if you are a white woman who is voting for KLA Harris that's not enough you have to get off the sidelines and do the work like black women and black men have been doing for decades and follow the lead of people like joea whose lead we followed on our call we have to be waking up every day and phone Banking and knocking doors and sending texts but most important we have to be persuading the white women in our lives we may be part of the 47% but

we know the 53% they're our mothers and our sisters and our friends and we have to tell them to vote not just in their own self-interests but in all women's best interests right and so that's what tonight is all about tonight is all about leaving this moment here and figuring out what it is you can do in your own home in your own community in your own District to spread the word and spread the vote so Bianca Shaw is the youth director for South Asians for Harris what are you hearing from the South Asian Community

yes thank you so much for that question I want to start off and say when I answered that call that I would be here I said me are you sure because is I cannot believe it but thank you so much um South Asians for Harris we are an official you know a nhpi campaign affiliate with the group and I just want to say that the aunties the uncles the students we're coming out in numbers we've never seen before out to mobilize for comma Davy Harris in this campaign because not only sh does she represent you

know our South Asian Heritage our love for Italy but she also represents the values that you know our parents our grandparents immigrated to this country to keep and maintain and she does that so well and we need to maintain that thank you it's about the values I'm with you thank you okay before the vice president joins us I want to bring out a local michigander I love saying michigander around here she's known as Big Gretch please welcome Michigan Governor gret and Whitmer fresh and new Dr we we're so happy to be in your state thank

you I'm glad you're here yes and we want everybody who can vote obviously to vote but it's very important for women so what do you want to say to women well this is going to be a big close race Michigan is always tight we know we're feeling feeling good but we got to translate that feeling into action we deserve a leader who is strong and kind it's not mutually exclusive and that's why I think this moment is so important for all of us today but for our kids and future Generations too there's so much at

stay here from our individual reproductive freedom to the ability to get ahead and make a good living and take care of your family that's all on the line this election yes strong and kind yes isn't that a notion and what can Michigan do to help get kamla Harris to the White House I think we've got to do the hard work in 2016 we were short 11,000 votes that's two votes per precinct which tells you that a conversation you have with a loved one or a neighbor or a fellow parishioner whomever in your life you can

talk to we've got to do it do something as Michelle Obama said at the convention well this is what we're doing tonight we're doing something thank you for allowing us in your state thank you so much thank you so much have a seat there right there I want to bring in right now I want to bring in right now the chair of the Harris Walts campaign Jen Ali Dylan Jen Jen hello have you seen anything like this isn't this great fun tell us what needs to happen uh from this day until November 5th so first

of all this campaign is so inspired by the Grassroots organizations that have come together like this this and it is making us stronger as a campaign to work together and we wouldn't be here without them today we have 47 days left and you all know the stakes or you wouldn't be here and while we have this extraordinary growing enthusiasm that the vice president and Governor walls are seeing everywhere we are still in a margin of error race it's tied it's tied right here in Michigan it's tied in all the Battleground States so it's going to

take all of us to build a pathway many Pathways to 270 electoral votes that's what we're focused on the campaign in every state we have to register more people we have to mobilize our voters to turn out to vote and then we have got to go persuade those people that still don't know enough about the vice president and her vision for the future and if we do that together all of us we're going to get over the top but it's really going to take all of us and to make sure that you're working in your

own lives have those hard conversations in big and small ways we're going to inch our way over the Finish Line because we're going to be able to do it together and don't you need money well we do we do and and these groups need money too all of us do because the work is happening on the ground and in the communities so if you want to help in any way at all on the campaign go to go.com L harris.com but if you want to help and not be formally engaged with us and and join any

of these groups here that's what we need too it's going to take all of us yes and I think that everybody on the screens everybody in this room everybody who's listening you become your own Grassroots organization when we leave this moment that we're sharing here tonight and you do what you can in your community it's not not enough just to join us all we love having you here but the raw raw moment is going to end and then we need to get to work we need to get busy okay thank you Jim I have to

say I have to just say this that the social media team for the Harris campaign has been killing it they have been killing it I I think it I think that team helps spark this peopled movement and here's a short look at the rap R and cry across social media I'm watching the KLA Harris um rally right now and wow I'm like cying so Tony and I just got done knocking 48 doors in King of Prussia Pennsylvania majority if not all independent Republican libertarian doors Republicans for Harris is growing explosively too we just need to

get back to a place in this country where we can have disagreements and have them still be respectful I'm here with Richard A 77-year-old registered Republican who's going to be voting for KLA Harrison they're eating the dogs the people that came in they're eating the cats they're eating they're eating the pets of the people that live there obviously narciss just doesn't stand for anything that I stand for what issues are most important to you personally H first of all not electing a felon to the White House I'm voting Harris walls and a blue ticket all

the way in 2020 only 50% of young eligible voters actually showed up and that was record-breaking so if you really want to be brat you better be showing up in groves in November we are with her and she's with us I voted for Nikki Haley in the primary I'm going to be voting for Camala Harris that's the right choice for America in 2024 let me tell you it is about character and it's about decency and respect and all the things that we were raised to believe about what it means to be an American citizen and

pursue the American dream and if that is important to you I hope whether you are a Democrat or a Republican or somewhere in the middle you will choose to vote your values because values are on the line in this election and in no other country on this Earth could her story unfold the way it has from a child of immigrants to big sister to McDonald's worker there is hope for y'all district attorney a wife and mamala to Senator to vice president please welcome [Applause] Kamara I I break and I I'm here I love you hello

hi so welcome to hello Madam vice president hello welcome to Michigan it's so good to be back and Governor thank you for everything you are and everything you do for this state thank you well thank you can see this we have a thousand screens here representing people from all over the country hi everyone can you feel can you feel Can You Feel It Can You Feel The Joy rising in here I can and I I have to tell you there's so much that I love about our campaign because it really is about the people and

I look around at these screens Oprah I look at who's in the room and this is America this is this is America you know I was saying with a group of friends earlier I I think in this moment where we've dealt with so much that I think is quite exhausting around powerful forces that would try and divide us and try us to have us As Americans pointing fingers at each other yes that this movement that is about reminding each other that we have so much more in common than what separates us is so critically important

and this is about the strength of who we are as Americans and this movement that we're in about as I like to say seeing in the face of a stranger a neighbor yes yes yes yes yes an extension of Love Thy Neighbor that you literally in the face of a stranger see a neighbor yes and approach each other with that level of dignity and Grace and and kindness well that's exactly what happened with the wi with black women I know you've known J for many years thank you that's exactly what happened she started it theyed

it they had to be it's your fault they had to be called and then said let's open the door let's open the door and invite everybody else in and everybody actually came organically organically like this is the beauty of our country I you know there's so much at stake in this election and ultimately the question before us is what kind of country do we want to live in and the beauty of a democracy as long as we we can hold on to it the beauty of a democracy is each of us has the power each

of us has the power right to answer that question that's right everybody on this call and Beyond has the power but can I just start with this yes please I have to say this because in all of my private conversations Gil and I've said this a hundred times and everybody is saying it you all have said it I know you have it seems to us that something happened to you the moment uh Jo Biden President Biden stepped aside and withdrew his candidacy that a veil or something dropped and you just stepped into your power I

mean literally looking at you at a speech like the week before which was a great speech very nice and then the next week I saw you walking in the thing and I said what happened to you you know we each have those moments in our lives where it's time to step up time to step up time to step up you know well the moment you heard I mean I really have been saying to people it felt like a veil dropped and you sort of stepped through that Veil did did that actually did you feel like

that I felt a sense of responsibility to be honest with you um and with that comes a sense of purpose but I mean we're all here and you all are taking time out of your busy lives everyone here everyone on the screen because there really is so much at stake uh you know I have spent the majority of my career being concerned about the well-being of other people yeah um as I've said in my career as a prosecutor I never looked at a a victim or witness and ask them are you a Republican or a

Democrat the only thing I ever asked them is are you okay are you okay I know when I heard that you know touch me and traveling this country and knowing what is at stake in terms of fundamental freedoms what's at stake in terms of fighting against hate and those those efforts to divide us and I do know that I'm in a position to do something about it so I felt a great responsibility MH and um and the incredible power of the people right who you I'm not the only leader in this we're all leaders in

this this is so much bigger than me it's about who we are as Americans and it's about making clear what we stand for and what we stand for is it is about the ideals upon which we were founded including the importance of freedom and and and and the importance of Independence and and the importance of dignity and and purpose but it is also about what we stand for in terms of our values I I think of it this way I think a lot boils down to values I just said vales are on line here it

does I mean think about it Oprah the idea that someone suggesting that my opponent and suggests which is that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down come on the real measure of the strength of a leader is on who you lift up and it's it's important for us absolutely articulate that you know ever since the debate we feel for our fellow citizens in Springfield do you not think about the fellow citizens in Springfield Ohio the Haitian families the the the non- Haitian families everybody having to deal with

this lie that has endangered the lives of Haitian people and anybody who looks Haitian everybody in America feels for that and I also everybody in America left right middle has concerns about immigration yeah and I'm told that Justin Justin where are you in the audience Justin hello in our audience hello Madam vice president you live in Michigan yes ma'am don't love saying hello Madam vice president I do I do what's what's your question it's an immigration question for you is uh um when you become president what would be your uh specific steps yeah of course

what would be specific steps to strengthening the border so it's a wonderful and important question um I you know my background was as a prosecutor and I was also the elected attorney general for two terms of a border state so this is not a theoretical um issue for me this is something I've actually worked on I have prosecuted transnational criminal organizations for the trafficking of guns drugs and human beings I take very seriously the importance of having a secure border and ensuring the safety of the American people uh sadly where we are now can be

traced most recently back to the fact that when the United States Congress members of the Congress including some of the most conservative Republicans came up with a border security Bill and here's what that border security bill would have done it would have put 1,500 more border agents at the border let me tell you those border agents are working around the clock it would have just been about giving them some support and relief which is probably why the Border agents actually endorse the bill it would have allowed us to stem the flow of Fentanyl and I'm

looking at people from all over the country here so I don't need to tell the folks who are watching this what fenel has done to families to to kids in our country and the need to take seriously stemming the flow coming into our country and addressing that extraordinary and and tragic issue in terms of its effect the bill would have allowed us to have more resources to prosecute transnational criminal organizations and it would have been part of the solution and Donald Trump called up those folks and said don't put that bill on the floor for

a vote he blocked the bill and you know why why cuz he'd prefer to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem and he has put his poltical personal political security before border security has understand even in the intervening months what that bill would have done to give support to folks who care about this issue and this again gets to the point about what does leadership really look like and is it about you or is it about the people is it about run running on problems or fixing problems my work in my career has

always been about saying let's fix problems let's address the needs because we know it's within our capacity to do that so to answer Justin's question now that that bill has gone and hasn't passed will you reintroduce that absolutely and when I am elected president of the United States I will make sure that Bill gets to my desk and I will sign it into law thank you Justin thank you listen to this a a majority of Young Americans 18 to 34 say that the cost of living is their top issue ahead of the election let's take

a look groceries are extremely expensive right now I don't understand how people are affording life right now for so many Americans the high cost of living is their top concern this election ra we have $435 to last till the end of the month okay what in Philadelphia Rachel and Garrett say they have to watch every penny when I think of middle class I think about people who are able to just get up and go and do things within their means and like not extravagant things but be able to get up and go to dinner whenever

they want or maybe take that trip that long weekend trip we don't have that luxury by a long shot her tax plan is phenomenal no glaze kamla Harris just delivered her new economic plan and boy ho boy is it good for small business owners holy you guys KLA Harris is going to announce tomorrow a $25,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers when I am elected president I will make it a top priority to bring down costs and increase Economic Security for all Americans well Rachel and Garrett are joining us on Zoom from Pennsylvania and I

understand your sister and brother-in-law moved in and you're hoping to save money to have a second child that's right hi Oprah hi madam vice president it's nice to be with you all yes hi and so what what did you wanted to say to the vice president so Madam Vice pres President we are like many many Young Americans just experiencing a very high cost of living we ended up giving up our apartment moving in with our parents who are so gracious to take us in for over a year so that we could save money and ultimately

buy a home because that's what we thought the American dream was to to get married and buy home and have a baby and now here we are and our mortgage is incredibly higher than what we thought it would be and my sister and our brother-in-law are living with us right now so that they can hopefully one day do the same and while it's beneficial for us because they help us pay off some of our mortgage it's also beneficial for them because they can save on cheaper rent but we really would love to know what your

plan is to help lower the cost of living yeah I first of all thank you both for being here and yours is a a story I hear around the country as I travel and um in terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams and Ambitions for your family and working hard and finding that the American dream is for this generation and so many recently far more elusive than it's been and we need to deal with that and there are a number of ways one is bringing down the cost of everyday Necessities

including groceries so that's why I'm taking on for example price gouging um which is when you know most companies and corporations are good but for those bad ones they take advantage of people especially during a pandemic or extreme weather and they end up jacking up prices and there needs to be accountability and consequence for that so I'm going to be taking on price scouching but it's also about dealing with what we need to do around home ownership right so as someone mentioned during this this film uh look I grew up a child of a mother

who worked very hard she raised me and my sister and she saved up and by the time I was a teenager she was able to buy a home and um we grew up actually for a long time in an apartment on top of a child care center that was owned by the woman we called our second mother because she helped my mother raise us and she was a small business owner Mich Shelton so I'll bring all this together to tell you the way I think about it is one when people work hard and have a

dream of buying a home we should give you the opportunity to be able to do that which is why part of my plan is for firsttime homeowners buyers to have a $25,000 down payment assistance to buy your first home cuz people just need to be able to get their foot in the door and then you'll do the hard work part of my plan is what we need to do to support small businesses because my second mother was a small business owner and I love our small businesses and our small business owners they are not only

Business Leaders they are Community leaders they they Mentor they hire locally and we have so many entrepreneurs in our country who have great ideas incredible work ethic but not necessarily access to Capital because not everybody like my opponent was handed $400 million on a silver plate that he filed bankruptcy six times on and so part of my plan is to give startup small businesses a $50,000 tax deduction to start up their small business right now it's $5,000 nobody can stop start a small business with $5,000 so that's part of my plan that's a teeny tiny

business that's that that's a business in business it's the concept of a business right yes you know where I'm going that's right Still on paper with the $5,000 it's still on pap it just hasn't happened right uh part of the it to speak to you guys and your family and your dreams is what we need to do around giving middle class families tax breaks and so part of my plan is also to ex extend and expand the child tax credit to $6,000 so that you can in the first year of your child's life have the

resources to be able to buy a crib and a car seat and and and and clothes for your baby knowing that's such an extraordinarily important time in their development and you shouldn't have to worry about how you're going to take care of their basic needs all of this and more is part of what I plan to build and I call it an opportunity economy and it's basically about creating opportunities knowing so many people have the ambition have the aspirations are working hard but just need opportunity to reach their goals in their dreams I saw you

smiling with that $25,000 credit for the home I saw that smile on your face and the 6,000 thank you all so much I want to just introduce to to Shelby who's also in our virtual audience thank you guys Shelby from Virginia who's also struggling with the cost of living uh tell us your story Shelby why hi hi madam vice president hi I'm 24 years old I'm a graduate student living with my parents and I want to move out next year and potentially buy a home and I'm concerned about the affordability of one with the extra

cost and bills I'm paying now along with the bills and costs I will pay in the future too and so everything just has a cost and everything is so expensive and so I'm worried about my capacity and how I'm able to fully support myself once I do live independently you sound like one of my daughter girls from South Africa graduated she was like I hate adulting I hate adulting this adulting isn't going so well yes well so part first of all congratulations on all the success you've already achieved and it is your story and the

story of our friends before you is really that's the American story right you you are working hard you have goals you have Ambitions and so part of it is again the $225,000 down payment assistance part of it is what we need to do to also push back against a very different vision for our country cuz look in this election there are two very different Visions for our country one for me that is focused on the future including you and another that is focused on the past what Donald Trump what my opponent plans on doing for

the economy is doing what he did the last time he was president and giving another tax break for billionaires and the biggest corporations that would add5 trillion do to our deficit and get this he plans on what doing what I call a trump sales tax which is basically he's going to put a 20% tax on everyday necessities that economists have estimated will cost the average American $4,000 more a year which is why Goldman Sachs which is why Moody which is why Wharton School of Business which is why 16 Nobel laurates have collectively determined after analyzing

our plans one mine would strengthen the economy his would weaken it two that on his plan he would actually blow up inflation and invite recession by the middle of next year so when you think about the cost of living my Approach is about lifting you up his would be about actually weakening our economy and I feel very strongly when an individual when a small business when a family when the middle class is strong America is strong Amen to that Amen to that thank you Shelby thank you Rachel and Garrick so the Harris campaign kicked off

off the fighting for Reproductive Freedom bus tour to support the fundamental right for women to make decisions about our own bodies and here is a short tape on that I did something that nobody thought was possible I got rid of roie Wade after roie Wade was overturned Tennessee put forth a ban immediately that band all abortion with no exceptions abortion bands are not pro- life they are pro poverty and pro inequality it's been over 2 years since a 5 to four ruling by the Supreme Court ended Row versus Wade The Landmark case that provided nearly

50 years of abortion rights across the United States who body our body since then abortions have been banned in over a dozen states many women and doctors say the limits on Reproductive Rights have forced them into unimaginable situations these policies do not reflect evidencebased Medical Practice they do not keep my patient safe according to the gender Equity policy women who live in states where abortion is banned are up to three times more likely to die during pregnancy during childbirth or soon after giving birth I nearly died all because of Donald Trump's Supreme Court Justices overturning

roie Wade so for the millions of you who watch the Democratic National Convention you will remember Hadley Deval telling her incredibly powerful story and case you didn't see it here's just a brief look growing up I was an all- American Girl Varsity soccer Captain cheerleading Captain homecoming queen and Survivor I was raped by my stepfather after years of sexual abuse at age 12 I took my first pregnancy test and it was positive Hadley is here stand up Hadley I have can tell you we are all standing up because we are so impressed by your courage

to stand up and share your story where did that come from the strength to to do this because I'm sure you thought long and hard before deciding to go public with your story when roie Wade was overturned thanks everybody I woke up with a harsh reality of my abuse was over but my story is not and I just could not fathom thinking about the other Hadley out there that don't have that choice that don't have somebody to go to so being able to find courage and be the light for them that's that's really what I

do it for and so what do you want to say to other people who are voting in this election regarding what happened to you and what that means you can't wait until it's too late to care about reproductive Healthcare because then it's too late and when it affects you it it it hits and it you can't deny it you can't look at someone with a story like mine and say it didn't happen and there are more people like me out there and there are going to be so many more who deserve their options they deserve

their choices let's get involved we have someone who's willing to hear us at a level like never before we have someone who wants to know what we want in this country we have someone who wants to lift up our voice and we need to show out and show up for her just like she's showing out and showing up for us all right is there something you wanted to say to Madam vice president Madam vice president I just want to say thank you thank you for seeing us for hearing us when the Supreme Court won't thank

you for fighting and you know really showing us that life is is not about the hard things that you go through you don't Bow Down even when you're the underdog especially when you're the underdog you stand up and you stand tall and you give me so much hope and so much strength thank you honestly thank you every for coming all this way I hope you continue to use your voice I hope you continue that this week the case of a young woman who lost her life after the abortion ban took place in Georgia made national

headlines Amber's case came to light through the reporting of journalists kava Sana uh with uh Pro propublica and so listen to her story two years ago 28-year-old Amber Nicole Thurman a medical assistant and a single mother to a six-year-old boy found out she was pregnant Amber had just secured her own apartment and was thinking about going to nursing school she made the decision to terminate her pregnancy a strict abortion ban had recently taken place in her home home state of Georgia which caused Amber to travel to North Carolina for the procedure traffic made her miss

the appointment so the clinic gave her medication what are known as abortion pills once back home Amber experienced profuse bleeding vomiting severe pain she eventually passed out her boyfriend called for an ambulance at the Georgia Hospital Amber's condition deturi quickly in a rare occurrence it was discovered her body had not expelled all the a fetal tissue and an infection was spreading official Georgia State medical expert analysis of her case says Amber should have received a life-saving DNC but doctors waited 20 hours before deciding to take her to surgery Amber's blood pressure had taken a dive

or organs had started failing in the operating room her heart stopped on the way to surgery Amber's last words to her mother were promise me you'll take care of my son Amber's mother shenet and older sister CJ and Andria are here and they are they wanted to be here tonight uh to speak out for the first time Miss chanette what do you want us to know about Amber's story initially I did not want the public to know my pain I wanted to go through in silence but I realized that it was selfish I want y'all

to know Amber was not a statistic she was loved by a family a strong family and we would have done whatever to get my baby our baby the help that she needed with propublica came to my home I pushed them away no no no but cavia she kept she was persistent she said it was something that you needed to know you have to hear me women around the world people around the world need to know that this was preventable two years later after speaking with my daughters because I lost strength I lost hope you're looking

at a mother that is broken the worst pain ever that a mother that a parent could ever feel her father and myself and the family you're looking at it well we appreciate so deeply you being here and I we're all watching you hear that tape and those words we know how re-traumatizing that is and the strength it takes for you to be here to tell your story and we deeply appreciate it and I have to ask you uh as her sisters how are you coping and what does is knowing that this could have been prevented

um how does how does that sit with you how do you cope with that on a daily basis I mean it's heartbreaking you know that was my baby sister I love my baby sister you know um I'm beyond hurt um disappointed I feel guilty I wish I could have helped her you know because she was suffering and we had no idea we trusted them to take care of her you know MH and they just let her die because because of some stupid abortion B they treated her like she was just another number they didn't care

for her as if you know she was their daughter or their you know granddaughter yeah you know and she's not here she'll never come back yeah Andria what do you want to say I want to say that it's it's very disheartening that my sister was allowed to suffer for 20 hours she suffered it was nothing that we could do to help her we trusted the Health Care Professionals to do their job and save her but they failed her well I think the most powerful thing that you've said here miss Janette is that your daughter is

not a statistic she had a life she was loved by her sisters loved by her family loved by those who knew her and she's not just St statistic and we are happy to speak her name tonight in in this room talking about what this country needs in terms of Reproductive Rights and Freedom what do you want to say Madam vice president I'm just so sorry um and the courage that you all have shown is extraordinary because also you just learned about how it is that that she died and they just recently learned yes how yeah

yeah and um and Amber's mom shared with me that the word over and over again in her mind is preventable yeah preventable that word keeps coming to her and this story is a story that is um sadly not the only story of what has been happening since these bands have taken place and um you know so the just a step back in terms of how we got here the former president chose three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would overdo the protections of roie Wade and they did as he

intended and in state after State including your yours these abortion bans have been passed that criminalize health care providers in a couple of States prison for life Oprah prison for life in a couple of states for a doctor or nurse who provides health care and so it it it seems very apparent even when the even when the mother's life is in danger see here's the problem with that here's the problem with that so is she on death's door before you actually decide to give her help mhm that's the problem is that what we're saying yeah

that you've got to prove your own death St like literally a doctor or a nurse has to say she might die any minute better give her now care because otherwise I might go to prison for life in some cases think about what we're doing in terms of saying that certain people who are in the these State houses and then starting with the former president of United States think they're in a better position than a doctor or a nurse to determine when their patient needs medical care this literally and an Amber's story highlights the fact that

among everything that is wrong with these banss and what has happened in terms of the overturning of way roie Wade it's a health care crisis it's a health care crisis that affects the patient and the profession and going back to Hadley's story and Hadley you've been so remarkable in telling your story and being so strong in the way you do it and both of these stories really I mean the courage for it out of pain for you to tell these stories to help other people is is just extraordinary it's and Hadley I'm and I'm you

just you've been so remarkable you know I oh if you know this but when I was in high school I learned that my best friend was being molested by her step yes we heard that story on the on the DNC yes yes and and and you had the courage then to go to her and say you've got to come to our house come yeah and she came to stay with us I called my mother she came to stay with us and the idea that these same legislators who would be saying you know criminalized Healthcare Providers

are also saying that after a person's body has been violated that they have no right to make make a decision about what happens to their body next that's immoral yeah I thinkal it's not just here's here's here's here's what I want to say I just don't believe that those legislators that the government has a right to be in your womb they have no right to be in your womb with decisions about your womb and one does not have to abandon their faith right or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her

what to do absolutely right if she chooses she will talk with her priest her pastor her Rabbi her Imam but not the government telling her what's in her best interest well this is a long healing process for this family and we thank you and we hope that that by being amongst people who heard you and heard your daughter's story will be meaningful you in this journey to Healing thank you so much for being here okay I want to also thank you I want to hear from Star Walker who is a campaign engagement organizer in Milwaukee

Ross thank you so much so another important issue of this election is of course our safety and just 2 weeks ago our country experienced yet another horrific school shooting watch this it's 10:30 a.m. at Rob Elementary in yaldi the school is recognizing my 10-year-old daughter Lexi for receiving all Ace 30 minutes later a gunman murders her 18 classmates and two teachers in the last 25 years there have been 417 school shootings in the United States and more than 383,000 students have experienced gun violence while at school more children and adolescents are killed by guns each

year than anything else Nationwide just two weeks ago appalache High School in Winder Georgia became the latest area to face every parent's worst nightmare tonight breaking news as we come on the air the deadly high school shooting two students and two teachers killed police and parents racing to the scene outside Atlanta oh my goodness there is a shooting at my granddaughter's school we had to drag our Teacher's Body into the classroom we heard him take his last [Music] breath we live in a country where 383,000 children have been exposed to gun violence now just sit

with that number for a second it's a number until it's your child mhm this is not normal y'all Yep this is not normal and this is not right other people in other countries do not have this issue we Americans we have to do better we have to do better we cannot continue to just settle for your our thoughts and prayers lives are being destroyed 15-year-old Natalie Griffith and her parents Doug and marilda are here and Natalie we are so sorry to know that you two have been added to that number because you were in algebra

class when you were shot twice by a 14-year-old fellow student we're so glad that you lived to tell your story and so how are you tonight well before that thing the video I was very I was very happy I still am very happy to be here and to and to tell my story and what H and what happened because it was a terrible thing and it should and it should not have um what's it called where were you shot where were you physically shot shot right here on my shoulder and then around here right I

was saying the 383,000 students in our country the United States of America have been been exposed to violence that same scene that you experienced in your school had you all been having you know drills or preparation for what should happen should there be a shooting um we have I've had um Intruder drills and um fire drills and stuff um in my old schools we had we've had a fire drill at appalachi but it was the first two months of yeah of the school year we hadn't had had an intruder drill yet so we didn't even

we weren't even completely sure where to go in the classroom we all just I remember being like huddled so I was watching your mother even and just when that tape was coming on it's still very much PTSD very much traumatic you're still reliving it and how has it been for you how did you how were you notified that there was a shooting at the school I was notified by a friend she called me I was at work MH and she called me and she said do you know about the shooting which with the school that

she goes to the appach I said no I don't and then she said there was a shoot at the appach high school my my heart just dropped it my heart just got so heavy and I could not no I just like I had to leave I told my coworkers I got to go I have to leave and my first thing I did is drop my knee on the floor and just I pray I pray for about 30 minutes for my for my work all the way to the I didn't get to get to the school

on my car I had to leave my car at a gas station about two maybe two and a half three miles and I walk on foot and I ran because my heart was so heavy I could not get I couldn't get that touch with my daughter and I hear you have a message for people in power regarding guns now I do I want to finish that story because no parents should go through this I want to just finish what you know the whole the experience you do not know what feels until is you yes you

know all those numbers that you show on the TV you know a lot of people there here are mothers you know what are we doing about this what are we doing let's make sure that everybody listens let's make sure that everybody hears it the whole world needs to hear that we women that have our children we have a job that job is protect our children that job is to protect our nation that J to protect our country we cannot that we cannot leave we cannot let that go home we have to stop it you know

where I was asking earlier where are those people all the other shooting where are they they needed to make a noise I'm ready to make a noise about this and I'm ready to stop it because no one no one knows what feels when you can't find your child when you call her and you call her she not answering when I went through it you know it's just me that knows it and I'm sure I'm so sorry for those that lost that children actually died I can actually hug my child my child is here and I

gave all these praise to my the Lord Our Father in Heaven saved my child you know but the other two mothers lost their kids and the other teachers that died you know those people are suffering like I'm suffering I'm very sorry for them I'm very sorry that they lost the PE the loved ones and you have a message for the people in power yes the people in power let's make it a change let's make happen let's make you know let's just not hear about this who want to just hear about this we got to change

it we got to make it happen you know and Doug Doug I hear you're not a a registered Democrat but you now say it doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on when it comes to this issue what change do you want to see now that it has affected your family uh you know common sense you know um I I I think the first step would just be metal detectors in schools you know make make a budget make a plan and and the people that say well we've never really done stuff like that before

I don't care you know they didn't have metal detectors at airports at one time you know they didn't have metal detectors at cour houses they you know I think that if a child knew that he would would would get caught that the likelihood of him trying would be they may there may be another Target but it wouldn't be us having to worry about schools being hardened you know yeah yeah um I mean I think that Doug has said it so eloquently which is we just need to apply common sense and look I I think for

far too long on the issue of gun violence some people have been pushing a really false choice to suggest you're either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone's guns away I'm in favor of the Second Amendment and I'm in favor of assault weapons bans Universal background checks red flag laws and these are just common sense these are just common sense I thought it was so powerful at the convention when you when when you said you have guns no at the debate at the debate I'm a gun owner Tim I did

not know that if somebody breaks in my house they're getting shot Sor yes yes I I I I hear that I hear that probably should not have said that but my staff will deal with that later but you have been a g gun owner for a while yes I have yes but but but here's here's my point Opa is that I'm not trying to take everyone's guns away I believe in the Second Amendment um but we have to agree that look I I did last fall a a college tour with College AE young people so

I also did um trade schools and packed audience every time in their Auditorium and I would ask please raise your hand if at any point between kindergarten and 12th grade you had to endure an active shooter drill almost every hand went up it was bone chilling this is the way our kids are living chilling and think about it you know I grew up we had fire drills only well I grew up in California we all said earthquake drills but the fact that our children are sitting in a classroom where they should be fulfilling their god-given

potential and exploring the wonders of the world and some part of their brain realizes somebody could bust through that classroom drawer door with a with a weapon with an assault weapon and and let's all agree that the the trauma so many children even those who have not directly experienced the tragedy just being in the environment just being in the environment I cannot tell you the number of young people who I mean our kids had active shooter drills that the they're concern that there might be somebody who would kill them while they are at school this

is not the sign of a civil society and we it doesn't have to be this way it does does not have to be this way but we need to have the courage to act I mean look my opponent when he was told and and knew about a shooting of a young girl you know what he said get over it get over it no we're not getting over it no and and to the point everyone should have a sense of collective responsibility for the children of our community yes and understand their right to live and be

safe I have personally prosecuted homicide cases I know I've autopsies I've seen autopsies I've seen what these weapons do to the human body and we've got to agree that in particular when we're talking about something like an assault weapon it's literally designed to be a tool of War it has no place on the streets of a civil society it's designed to kill a lot of human beings [Music] quickly and there are things we can do I mean thankfully over the last three years we've done but it is common sense it just seems like Common Sense

we would see this we would see this and I think that the majority of Americans agree with you that we do not want assault weapons in the hands of children and other people who have no business with those types of weapons right right we know this is true so we thank you Natalie and your family for being here uh and good luck that marching band this year I hear you're going to go out for the marching band still thank you for inviting us we have unfortunately it's a sad moment for us but I wanted to

make sure that you know we came because we needed to be heard and we needed to you know change has to be made and we ready to fight for this thank you thank you okay we want to hear what's going on in another Battleground State Tracy is a regional organizing director in Nevada Tracy tell us how things are going for you hi hi everybody I'm Tracy Lee a regional organizing director in Nevada I am the Silver State this year because there's so much on the line from Healthcare to lowering cost these these issues impact all

of us my team and I have been building relationships with voters across this state because here in Nevada we know that enthusiasm alone does not win campaigns organizing does so all of you watching tonight can become organizers whether you talk to your sister a roommate or a grandparent about why you're so excited to vote for vice president Harris you are organizing and energizing other supporters so please go to go.com harris.com to find ways to help and enjoy the rest of tonight's event and let's get to work let's get to work let's do something Merl stre

hello you and I hi Marl Street you and I have talked about this moment how are you feeling how are you feeling about the momentum oh man this um this has been overwhelming to have the privilege to sit in and and listen to the testimony of the people here um hello president Paris 47 days 47 days yes from my mouth to God's ear and helloa I think the word of the day has been preventable preventable all of this the surround of hatred and yeah and Venom and toxicity and um encouraging some segment of Americans to

hate others segment of Americans it's just crazy and nobody wants it we're done that's right we're done with it um I'm just I wanted to ask you I can't believe I have this opportunity um it probably never will again um if I have a little Debbie Downer moment because actually I think you're going to win I'm sure you're going to win I think yeah but what happens when you win and he doesn't accept it and you know that there's going to be this long slog of shenanigans and I'm wondering where how we get to that

moment how we preserve certification on January 6th because if it doesn't happen uh it'll be maybe thrown back to the legislatures of the states and I've been I've been working with um state government citizens uh Campaign which is SGC am.com so they they're great they're doing the the unglamorous down ballot uh um work of promoting those those those candidates because we really I'm worried about it and I wonder I wonder if we're ready for January 7th 8th 9th and what happens what happens so we will be ready but just taking a step back and and

thank you Marilyn for your just the gift that you give you do do your talent your creativity um thank you for being here uh one of the things that I have realized in the course of our campaign is that more Americans than we may realize who voted for Trump before have decided January 6th was just a bridge too far it when we reflect and think about what January 6th was where the president of the United States sitting in the Oval Office incited a mob a violent mob to attack the United States capital such that 140

law enforcement officers were injured some were killed to to to try and upend a free and fair election where the American people voted that was a bridge too far for a lot of people and we had have sadly now seen how far he could go and I think there is absolutely no tolerance whatsoever for the vast majority of Americans for that and they've seen the lies they understand for example almost every court case I think every court case where he's challenged an election he lost I said on the debate stage look because he's having a

very difficult time obviously processing the fact that 81 million people fired him right but so there is that that it really was a bridge too far for so many people that they are not willing to repeat but the other piece of it is the lawyers are working the it's very important that we all speak to our friends and our neighbors about misinformation and help them now see how it occurs where it is occurring it is important that we stand up for the Integrity of poll workers and people who are working on Election Day and um

and that we also and this is critically important that we ask people to be alert about Miss and disinformation and we ask them do not be afraid to vote because I think there is also something quite Insidious about these attacks um on the electorate in these various forms that are intended to convince people that their vote won't matter and in that way there's a little bit of reverse psychology going on here and let's let's just make sure nobody Falls for it your vote does matter and we cannot let anyone ever take our power from us

we can never let anybody silence us and when we get those votes out starting soon early voting is already going to start this week I think um through November 5th and let's make sure everyone votes and and we are going to have a good election day we're going to fight for the Integrity of the people's voice and for our democracy and you know I'll just mentioned earlier um a couple of folks talked about what this means in terms of the world you know Oprah is Vice President I have I've met over 150 world leaders presidents

Prime Ministers chancellors and Kings and the thing about representing the United States of the America is when we walk in those rooms around the world we have historically and traditionally been able to walk in those rooms chin up shoulders back with the self-appointed and earned authority to talk about the importance of democracies people around the world are watching right now because you see the thing about walking into room and being a role model is people watch what you do to see if it lines up with what you say and in that way the consequences of

this election are directly going to impact the American people and people around the world that's what we're fighting for and those are the stakes and that's why we're going to win cuz we know what we're fighting for we because we know what we stand for thank you Marl so thank you Marl what is on your heart to say to the American people as we have 47 days um until November 5th what's on your heart to say to particularly those people who are still uh undecided or maybe in different or on the fence still we love

our country I love our country I know we all do that's why everybody's here right now we love our country we we we take pride in the privilege of being American and this is a moment where we can and must come Together As Americans understanding we have so much more in common than what separates us let's come together with the the character that we are so proud of about who we are which is we are an optimistic people we are an optimistic people Americans by character are people who have dreams and Ambitions and aspirations we

believe in what is possible we believe in what can be and we believe in fighting for that that's how that's how we came into being because the people before us understood that one of the greatest expressions For the Love of our country one of the greatest expressions of patriotism is to fight for the ideals of who we are which includes freedom to make decisions about your own body freedom to be safe from gun violence freedom to have access to The Ballot Box freedom to be who you are and just be to love who you love

openly and with pride freedom to just be and that's who we are we believe in all that and so this is a moment where we stand knowing what we are fighting for we're not fighting against it's what we're fighting for thank you thank you madam vice president thank you and I want to say thank you m vice president I also want to say thank you Jo take who started the Gatherings on zoom and all of the Grassroots now each of you listening tonight you become your own Grassroots organization to go forward and do something coming
