"The fight that fueled our campaign, a fight for freedom and opportunity, that did not end on Nov. 5. A fight for the dignity of all people? That did not end on Nov. 5," Harris said. "A fight for the future, a future in which all people receive the promise of America? No. A fight that is about a fight for the ideals of our nation, the ideals that reflect the promise of America? That fight's not over."

You have the same power that you did before Nov. 5 and you have the same purpose that you did and you have the same ability to engage and inspire.
