During her speech, Harris lamented that, in her opinion, conservative policies were having the opposite effect. She emphasized the importance of the ongoing fight for freedom, stating, ”In this moment, across our country, we are witnessing hard-fought, hard-won freedoms under full-on attack by extremist so-called leaders.”
Although Harris did not explicitly name the individuals she was referring to, she hinted that these ”extremist leaders” were undermining the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and the unity of the rainbow coalition. She also suggested that their actions had paved the way for the recent Dobbs decision, leaving it to the congregation to infer that she was targeting the Republican party, her political opposition.

Ending her remarks on a hopeful note, Harris quoted Romans 5:5, stating, “As we know from Romans 5:5, hope does not disappoint us. Let us march, let us vote, let us fight — knowing that when we fight, we win.”
