Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris participated in a religious service in Stonecrest, Georgia, where she encouraged the black community to vote as part of the national campaign "Souls to the Polls." Harris attended the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, where the gathered women wore pink in support of breast cancer awareness.
After this event, Harris plans to visit the Divine Faith Ministries International in Jonesboro, accompanied by singer Stevie Wonder. Subsequently, she will record an interview with Reverend Al Sharpton, which will air on MSNBC. Meanwhile, her fellow contender, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and his wife, Gwen, will also participate in religious services in different states.
The mobilization, which started on October 13, is led by the National Black Religious Leaders' Advisory Board, which sends representatives to key states during the early voting period for the November 5 elections. Martin Luther King III expressed regarding this effort: "When black voters are organized and engaged, we have the power to change the trajectory of this nation."
Harris's schedule, which coincides with her 60th birthday, highlights her campaign strategy of addressing all voter groups as if they were voters in a battleground state. The goal is to mobilize voters in a very tight election, especially considering the development of early voting.
