Today the Young Democrats of America are proud to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States of America following a unanimous vote by the Executive Board. Since 2020, the Biden-Harris Administration has made incredible strides in advancing the interests of America’s young people. This administration has addressed key issues including student debt forgiveness, climate change, reproductive healthcare, affordable housing, and LGBTQ+ rights. We are eager to see this work continue onward, and we are proud to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris to be the one to do so.
Vice President Kamala Harris has dedicated her accomplished career to championing the rights of young people and fighting for justice. As Attorney General of California, she established Open Justice, an online platform that improved police accountability by making criminal justice data publicly available. As a U.S. Senator, she continued to defend democracy and promote a fair society by advocating for progressive legislation. The American people now have the opportunity to reject fascism, protect our democratic values, and embrace a positive vision for our nation’s future—one that Young Democrats across the country enthusiastically support.
As Vice President, Kamala Harris has worked to unite the American people. Convicted felon Donald Trump and JD Vance seek to divide us. Vice President Harris has fought for women’s freedom to make decisions about their own bodies. Convicted felons Donald Trump and JD Vance support a national abortion ban and the end of reproductive freedom. Vice President Harris has fought to secure clean drinking water for millions of families and address the climate crisis. Convicted Felon Donald Trump and JD Vance think climate change is a “hoax.” The decision facing the American people – and especially the young people – could not be more stark.
As President, Kamala Harris would be the first Black woman and the first person of Indian descent to become leader of the free world. The historic nature of a Harris Presidency presents an opportunity for America to
demonstrate to the world, and to ourselves, that we are truly a nation where diversity empowers the very best of us.
The Trump-Vance agenda is a threat to American democracy and the rights we hold dear. If elected, they will stop at nothing to roll back decades of progress in reproductive, environmental, LGBTQ+, racial, and criminal
justice. Trump’s Project 2025 is an existential threat to the future of our nation and the sanctity of the free world. Now is the time to unify our party for the good of our nation, behind a force for good— a woman who
will serve us with dignity, honor, and fight passionately to expand democracy. The Young Democrats of America are proud and honored to endorse Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States of America.
