Over 160,000 people joined a Zoom call to garner support among white women for Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential bid.

On Thursday (July 25), thousands of people including activists, podcasters, the singer Pink, and regular voters gathered for a White Women for Kamala Harris Zoom call, per Reuters.

The call was organized by Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, a gun safety group with roughly 10 million members.

The White Women for Kamala Harris Zoom call came amid a series of similar video calls in support of the presumptive Democratic nominee by different demographics. Hours after Biden announced that he was stepping down from the race on Sunday (July 21), more than 40,000 people joined a Zoom call for Black women for Harris.

Roughly 50,000 people joined a Zoom call for Black men supporters on Monday (July 22). According to reports, there have also been calls for South Asian women, LGBTQ allies, and white men.

During Thursday's call for white women, participants discussed strategies for garnering support for Harris, including contacting friend groups, fundraising, and countering misinformation.

Watts said the point of the meeting was "to make sure we are using our economic and political power to help elect Kamala Harris."

“White women have fallen down too many times when it comes to voting for a presidential candidate," she added.
