John,

At Emerge’s 20th Anniversary Gala, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a powerful message.

“Fear is not the only thing that’s contagious.
Courage is contagious.”

She warned of the Trump Administration’s “wholesale abandonment” of American ideals and emphasized that in the face of fear and division, we must stand united.

Harris’s journey began with Emerge, and now she’s urging us to empower the next generation of Democratic women leaders.

Will you join us in this mission? Become a 2025 Emerge member today and help us train more women to lead with courage.

Let’s spread courage — together.
