Kamala Harris

AFT Votes Town Hall with Sen. Harris, Detroit 5/6/19

89 photos

Kamala Harris has a long history of supporting public education. She’s been committed to fully funding public education; she supports the right to organize; and she has a history of fighting for voting rights, LGBTQ equality and women’s rights. When our members went on strike in Los Angeles in 2019, she was one of the first national figures to publicly support our members. And in this long-overdue moment of racial reckoning, her leadership on the Justice in Policing Act of 2020 is what we need.
