Kamala Harris ally: We must reimagine democracy beyond the Founders' "little piece of paper."
The Human Rights Campaign president, Kelley Robinson, delivered an address at the Democratic National Convention.
At the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last week, Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson encouraged people to envision freedom and democracy beyond the limitations of the Founders' "constitution."
On the third night of the DNC, Robinson spoke about shifting power for the LGBTQ community and minorities, two days prior to her appearance on a panel at the DNC's LGBTQ+ Kickoff where she was asked how to build more power for these groups.
Robinson stated, "Instead of solely focusing on safeguarding democracy, we must now envision it with individuals who share our appearance and values at its core."
She stated, "We must reimagine freedom and the American story in a more revolutionary manner than our Founders initially intended. This new type of democracy should be for and by all people in the country. This is the opportunity we have."
On Wednesday, a Black queer woman spoke on the DNC national stage and stated that Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, were "fighting for joy."
The tale of America is the tale of advancement towards liberty. In a short period, my family transitioned from being enslaved in Mississippi to being the first free Black family in Muscatine, Iowa, to preparing to elect President Kamala Harris. Progress is occurring, my friends!
Donald Trump wants to erase us. He would ban our healthcare. Belittle our marriages. Bury our stories. But we’re not going anywhere. We are not going back. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, they’re our champions for LGBTQ+ freedom, y’all.
In July, the HRC's "Out for Kamala Harris LGBTQ+ Unity" virtual rally was previously hosted by Robinson.
Last year, Robinson gained popularity for her testimony at the Senate's hearing on "Protecting Pride: Defending the Civil Rights of LGBTQ+ Americans." In her testimony, she argued that biological males do not have a physical advantage over women in sports, citing tennis star Serena Williams as evidence.
"Robinson stated that there is an article about men who believe they can defeat Serena Williams in tennis, but it is incorrect as she is more powerful than them."
In 1998, Karsten Braasch, who was 50 years old and ranked 203, defeated the Williams sisters consecutively at the Australian Open after they boasted about their ability to beat any male player outside the top 200.
