U.S. State Secretaries of State

We must elect a president who will bring something different, something better and do the important work, a president who will bring all of us together, black, white, Latino, Asian, indigenous, to achieve the future we collectively want…

Because here's the thing, none of us are free until all of us are free.

So let's fight with conviction. Let's fight with hope. Let's fight with confidence in ourselves and a commitment to each other.

Right now, we have a president who turns our tragedies into political weapons. Joe will be a president who turns our challenges into purpose.

In this election, we have a chance to change the course of history. We're all in this fight. Years from now, this moment will have passed and our children and our grandchildren will look in our eyes and they're going to ask us, where were…

Joe Biden had the audacity to choose a black woman to be his running mate, breaking one of the most substantial barriers that has existed in our country, and that he made that decision with whatever risks that brings.

Right now, we have a president who turns our tragedies into political weapons. Joe Biden will be a president who turns our challenges into purpose.

Joe Biden had the audacity to choose a black woman to be his running mate. How incredible is that? And what a statement about Joe Biden.

Folks want democracy. People want to make sure that they and their families can actually be OK, that they have the economics that they need, that they have -- they have job security, and they have healthcare.

By Joe asking me to be his running mate, he has pushed forward something that might have otherwise taken decades. This is a statement about the fact that we're not going to just wait for somebody to give us permission.

I think it's incredibly disturbing and concerning that in this time of great uncertainty, we're in the middle of a global pandemic, more citizens on both sides of the aisle are saying they want to vote safely from home this November.

Why don't they want us to vote? Why are they creating obstacles to us voting? Well, the answer is because when we vote, things change. When we vote, things get better.

Since 1963 when we passed the Equal Pay act, we have been talking about the fact women are not paid equally for equal work.

Just because, you know, she's a black woman or just because some black women are excited about her doesn't mean that they have this locked up.

When you have one ticket that can say the phrase black lives matter and another who has been full-time sowing hate and division in our country, those are the things that are going to motivate black women to vote.

It should be shocking to the nation that the Postal Service said that because of its lack of services, millions upon millions of Americans could be disenfranchised. That's undemocratic. It's un-American. And President Trump is squarely to…

All issues are women's issues.

The rhetoric coming out of the White House is something that you hear under dictatorships, not in the United States.

He is doing the same thing again, and I will not allow him to suppress the voice of Americans. These are our constitutional rights.

We have a solution, it is vote by mail for all and the President is trying to put in barriers to suppress turnout in November.

The President is specifically trying to withhold funds to enable vote by mail to work. He is basically trying to undermine the safest way to vote during a pandemic and force Americans to choose between risking their very lives and casting…

It is alarming that the Postmaster General sent a letter to a lot of states, 49 states basically laying that millions of Americans could be disenfranchised because of their service. That is undemocratic. It is un-American and it is Donald…

But what brought them together was the civil rights movement of the 1960s. And that's how they met as students in the streets of Oakland marching and shouting for this thing called 'justice' in a struggle that continues today.

Why don't they want us to vote? Why are they creating obstacles to us voting? Well, the answer is because, when we vote, things change. When we vote, things get better. When we vote, we address the disparities we have been talking about…
