Harris' historic win into the white house sent waves the world over

What does the election of Vice President Kamala Harris mean to the world? We'd like to say that in 2020, electing a black, Indian American woman to the second-highest office position in the world is nothing but the norm, but unfortunately, it is far from it. Harris is due to become the first-ever woman elected as Vice President of the United States, and with her black and Indian heritage, she's making history for minority women too.

We have all been so occupied with unseating the current incumbent President in an election like no other (with challenges as never seen before: from a global pandemic to a sitting president who has done anything in his power to suppress voter turnout and delegitimise the election process itself), that we've not had the time and space to fully understand the importance of a Harris Vice Presidency.

What this election means is that Harris has broken down barriers and shown the world that equality, or at least the steps needed to take toward it, is possible. During her winning speech in Wilmington, Delaware, Harris paid tribute to her late mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, Biden's late son and her good friend, Beau, the women who struggled for the right to vote and "the Black women who are often, too often overlooked but so often proved they are the backbone of our democracy."

"This is a country of possibilities," she added.

democracy is still under threat; our work isn't over

If you've been following the news as we have, you are by now well aware of the current president's denial of the election results and his and his loyalists' attempts to claim a false victory – or at least a fraudulent victory for their opponent.

Yes, Trump and his bandit of advisors and political pawns are doing everything they can in their power to challenge the results of the election. Now, our prediction is that there is little ground for their claims, but never say never and under a Trump leadership, all previous rules have been thrown under the bus.

One state that still needs our help is Georgia, where a January run-off for the Senate positions will take place. Winning the Senate for the Democratic party will mean being able to pass new policies through from the new Biden-Harris administration and a clearer-sailing route to reversing some of the damaging policies passed by the Trump administration over the past four years.
