that works for working peo -
ple,” Harris said.
Harris said those conversations
reinforced her belief that state
elected officials are often better
positioned than Washington to un-
derstand the everyday challenges
facing their constituents.
“I support The States Project be-
cause the folks here and the folks
we are supporting — state elected
officials — are on the ground see-
ing and hearing these stories every
day,” Harris said.
The discussion was moderated
by Daniel Squadron, co-founder
of The States Project and author
of The Fourth Branch: How State
Government Can Save Our Union.
The organization supports state
legislative candidates in competi-
tive states and advocates for great-
er investment in state legislative
races.
Harris said protecting voting
rights remains central to the broad-
er civil rights movement.
“The fight for civil rights in
America, born out of the struggle
of Black Americans, has benefit -
ed so many groups,” she said. “But
when we look at what’s happening
across the country, the fight for jus-
tice, for equality, lives on.”
Looking beyond the current
administration, Harris said Dem -
ocrats must present voters with
more than opposition to President
Donald Trump.
“We’ve got to have a mindset
and a purpose that is about the day
after this administration leaves the
White House,” Harris said. “The
question is going to be, what are
you going to do with the power if
you get it?”
Harris closed by encouraging
Americans to remain engaged in
their communities and state gov -
ernment.
“I strongly believe nobody
should be made to fight alone,”
Harris said. “Especially at this mo-
ment in time.”
