Kamala Calls on Supporters to Stay Committed to Creating a Brighter Future

USA-(Mudassar Iqbal)-Kamala Harris urged her supporters to not give up their efforts for making the world a better place to live in.

“Sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn’t mean we won’t win,” she said to a crowd at Howard University. “Don’t ever give up.” She urged supporters: “Don’t ever stop trying to make world a better place.” She then told “everyone watching” to not despair.

“This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves. This is a time to organize, to mobilize and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know we can build together,” she said.

Harris implored the audience gathered at Howard University to “fill the sky” with stars if America is headed into a dark time after she conceded the presidential election to President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday.

Paraphrasing an old “adage,” Harris told the audience: “only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.”

“I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time. But for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here’s the thing, America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars. The light of optimism, of faith, of truth and service. And may that work guide us even in the face of setbacks toward the extraordinary promise of the United States of America,” Harris added.
