Nonbinary People for Harris

Nonbinary People for Harris
Tuesday, August 27th
6:30pm MT / 8:30pm ET

Why I’m Hosting Nonbinary People for Harris:

I believe that women of color, especially Black women, have been the backbone of our progress, politically and otherwise. They’ve organized, led fearlessly, and proven their capacity to solve our biggest challenges. Now is the time for us to elevate a Black woman to the highest office in the land—to address problems that require leadership grounded in resilience and lived experience. As nonbinary individuals, we’ve faced marginalization both inside and outside of the LGBTQ+ community. This event is a chance for us to unite, reclaim our power, and show that our spirit remains unbroken, even after the heartbreak of recent years. It’s about standing up for our rights and trusting Black women to lead, as we proudly serve as their allies. This campaign isn’t just about politics; it’s about defining the true values of America, with nonbinary people standing boldly as part of that vision. Together, we can show the world that we are fearless, unshakeable, and ready to be a force for good.
