Our Hearts and Hopes are in Chicago


It’s been just 14 breathless days since Kamala Harris became the official Democratic presidential nominee. And she hasn’t missed a beat – rising in the polls, raising more than $300 million in campaign funding, and drawing hundreds of thousands of ecstatic supporters with her positive vision for the future that pledges security, opportunity, and personal choice for all.

Nothing weird about that! 

This week the momentum continues as Vice President Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, formally accept their nomination at the Democratic National Convention - and  the 21 delegates from Democrats Abroad, as well as many DA supporters and leaders - will be there! Join us in person or online as history gets made – and follow up with a Women’s Equality Day chaser on September 1st! 

Catch the Joy in Chicago! 



Our DA team is on the ground in Chicago RIGHT NOW  for the Democratic National Convention, and you can be a part of the action!

  • Get the inside scoop: Follow DA social media for live updates and interviews from our own DA team in Chicago. 3 of our Caucus Chairs will be there - don’t miss it!
  • Stay informed: Go to the official convention website for the latest news, livestream and more.
  • Make History:  On Thursday evening, as Vice President Harris accepts the nomination, women in the audience will be wearing white in a nod to the suffrage movement. Join in the fun by taking photos of yourself and your friends (even your cat!) wearing something white and holding a home-made Kamala sign and/or other campaign swag. Share on social media and be a part of this historic event! Use the hashtags:  #DAWomenInWhite #Kamala2024 #votefromabroad
