For the last two months, hundreds of organizations and millions of people – from #WinWithBlackWomen to #CatLadiesForKamala and everyone in between – have united to change our country. On one special night, they’ll all come together with one of our country’s biggest forces for good: Oprah Winfrey. Several A-listers were among the thousands who joined a live-streamed event Thursday, hosted by Oprah Winfrey, that united the many grassroots political groups supporting Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. At the beginning of the Unite For America call, Winfrey shouted out Meryl Streep, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Tracee Ellis Ross and Bryan Cranston for Zooming in. She also highlighted the grassroots groups that have hosted their own Zoom events supporting Harris in recent months, including Win with Black Women, White Dudes for Harris, Win with Black Men, Republicans for Harris, Swifties for Kamala, among others. Elsewhere on the Unite For America call, Streep said she feels “the word of the day has been preventable,” adding that “all of this, the surround of hatred and venom and toxicity and encouraging some segment of Americans to hate other segments of Americans,” is preventable.” “It’s just crazy and nobody wants it,” the actress continued. “We’re done, we’re done with it.” The full show can be watched in the video archive, screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery.
