A Non Partisan 501c4 Did you miss Michael Blake on CNN this morning? Watch now: [Black Men Unite Around Harris' Presidential Campaign]( Thousands of Black men raised more than $1.3 million during a Monday evening virtual fundraiser call in support of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee [Kamala Harris](. According to Quentin James of The Collective PAC, one of the organizers for the “Black Men for Harris” call, more than 45,000 Black men [convened]( online to rally around Harris’ candidacy, just one day after President Joe Biden suspended his reelection campaign and endorsed his vice president for the party’s nomination. James, along with political and legal strategist Bakari Sellers, Khalil Thompson of [Win With Black Men]( and Michael Blake of [Kairos Democracy Project]( organized Monday’s call, which was hosted and streamed by Roland Martin’s Black Star Network. The goal of the call was to match funds raised during a similar call hosted Sunday night by [Win With Black Women]( … Blake of Kairos Democracy Project told theGrio that Monday’s call was “an incredible collaboration” that brought together Black male organizers, elected officials, and staff working for the White House and Harris campaign. “Last night, we made it very clear that Black men count and Black men must be counted. Black men must be at the table, and we do not accept that we are not in the game,” Blake told theGrio. “We made it very clear that for a long time, sisters have held us down. Well, it’s our time to do it for her.” After 48 hours of fundraising for Harris among Black women and Black men, resulting in a total of $2.8 million, Blake noted, “It’s pretty clear what’s possible” when Black communities unite. “They will try to attack her, they will try to attack us. But if we remind people that we always have strength in numbers and strength in message, we win,” added Blake.
