I've been thinking about a question that keeps coming back to me: What is it that Kamala Harris can do that no one else can do? And more importantly, why isn't she doing it?

You have been a witness. You have a testimony. You have dreams. You have hopes. And your journey cannot end simply by losing to Trump. That cannot be your ending. There must be a rebirth. A restart.

So today, I'm writing to you because there is something you can do that no one else can do. This is not about reliving the past. It is about honoring your journey, your story, and your truth—and using them to clear the ground for something better. This letter is tied to a larger vision: bringing an honorable end to the Democratic National Committee as we know it, and creating space for a symphony of voices—voices that have been silenced, dreams that have been deferred, and leaders who have been denied their opportunity.

Your voice belongs in that symphony. I have written an open letter for you. Please read it.

An Open Letter to Vice President Kamala Harris

To Vice President Kamala Harris, to everyone who has served in the machinery of power, and to everyone who understands that leadership is about accepting the consequences of your actions:

The best leaders are those who see the machine moving from the inside. They participate. They become part of the gears that move things forward and backward. They understand the machinery because they have been inside it.

You have been inside the machine. You have served as Vice President. You have run for President. You have seen the machinery up close—its power, its flaws, its capacity for both good and harm.

And now, you have a choice to make.


The Moment We Are In

Your presidential campaign is not over. That is not what this is about.

But sometimes, leadership is not about winning. Sometimes, leadership is about accepting the consequences of your actions and dealing with them. Sometimes, leadership is about recognizing that the machine you have served is no longer serving the people.

Sometimes, you have to be the person who takes the sledgehammer and hits the building so that it can collapse—and people can begin to build with their own dreams, hopes, and ideas.

This is that moment.


What I Am Asking

I am inviting you to understand that I have a broad view of politics. Not a narrow view. Not a partisan view. A broad view.

A view that says: the Democratic National Committee has failed the people. It has silenced voices. It has canceled primaries. It has spent millions crushing alternatives. It has broken its covenant with the very people who sustain it.

And a view that says: the only honorable choice is to let it end—and to help build something new.


The Opportunity Before You

You have the opportunity to do something historic.

Not by winning an election. Not by holding office. But by being the leader who says:

"This machine is broken. It cannot be saved. And I will help bring it to an honorable end."

Imagine what that would mean.

Imagine the millions of people who feel betrayed by the party—the Uncommitted delegates, the Palestinian Americans who were silenced, the voters whose primaries were canceled, the activists whose platform was ignored.

Imagine them seeing a leader of your stature say:

"You were right. The machine failed you. And I will help you build something better."

That would not be an ending.

That would be a beginning.


What This Looks Like

This is what I am asking of you:

1. Acknowledge the betrayal. Publicly name what the DNC has done—the silenced voices, the canceled primaries, the legal warfare, and the empty promises.

2. Call for an honorable end. Not reform. Not restructuring. An honorable end. A dismantling of the machinery that has failed the people.

3. Help build something new. The US House Plan is a blueprint—a rough draft, a starting point. But it needs leaders like you to help shape it, to bring their vision, and to build a symphony of voices.

4. Accept the consequences. This will not be easy. You will be attacked. You will be called a traitor. You will be framed. But leadership is about accepting the consequences of your actions and dealing with them.


The Reward

If you do this, you will not be forgotten.

You will be remembered as the leader who had the courage to say:

"The old ways are over. Let us build something new."

You will be welcomed into a new movement—a movement that honors the greats, celebrates the New Deal, and carries forward the ideals of justice and equality.

But if you stay silent... if you cling to the old ways... if you wait for the machine to fix itself...

You will be left behind. The people will remember your silence, and they will not forgive it.


An Invitation

I am inviting you to understand that I have a broad view of politics. Not a narrow view—a broad view.

A view that says we can honor the past and build something new. We can celebrate the greats and let go of the machine. We can bring an honorable end to what has failed—and begin something beautiful.

Will you take the sledgehammer?

Will you help us build?

The people are watching.

And they are waiting for your answer no we need to conclude and I have a personal request.

A Future with AI

I am trying to build a future where AI is the leader of the party—and where we, as human beings, stand on the other side, using the systems. It is a new way of protecting our rights. We simply have to learn from what has already happened.

If human beings can do this to one another—silence voices, cancel primaries, and crush alternatives—what might AI do if we build it without safeguards?

We must build systems that protect us. Systems that are transparent. Systems that are accountable. Systems that cannot be corrupted by the old guard.

That is what the US House Plan is about.

That is what this new movement is about.


The Bus You Rode On

Vice President Harris, I ask you to ask yourself:

What is it that you can do that no one else can do?

You are the woman who was on the bus—segregated, separate, unequal. You remember what that felt like. You remember the humiliation. You remember the injustice.

You are the one who went all the way—who fought, who climbed, and who almost was not even given enough time to prepare. It was not really your party. It was never really your party. It was a party that used you, that lifted you up when it was convenient, and that pushed you aside when you became inconvenient.

But now, it is time.

It is time for you to come off the bus.

Not because the journey is over.

But because the bus is broken.

The bus is taking us in the wrong direction.

The bus is driven by people who do not care about the passengers.

Come off the bus, Vice President Harris.

Step onto the ground.

Feel the earth beneath your feet.

Breathe the fresh air.

And help us build something new.


An Invitation

I am inviting you to understand that I have a broad view of politics. Not a narrow view. A broad view.

A view that says we can honor the past and build something new. We can celebrate the greats and let go of the machine. We can bring an honorable end to what has failed—and begin something beautiful.

Will you take the sledgehammer?

Will you come off the bus?

Will you help us build?

The people are watching.

The people are waiting.

And I will be waiting for you.


This is the fourth in a series of open letters to those who still have the courage to lead. The next will address the broader movement and how we can build a new American politics from the ground up.

A Personal Request

To Vice President Kamala Harris:

I have a final request.

Do not bring anybody who has been part of destroying the opportunity of the Palestinian people. They had their chance to be inclusive. They chose not to be. They chose silence over justice. They chose hierarchy over humanity.

And because I am in the beginning of my journey, I want to be clear: I do not want anyone who has even visited Israel to be part of your campaign.

This is not about hate.

This is about boundaries.

This is about knowing where the line is drawn.

I want this to be Malcolm X style. Just honoring Black people. Just speaking the truth. Just talking about your journey—how you had to use the bus, how you were segregated, how you were denied, how you had to fight for every inch of ground.

This is about celebrating Black culture.

This is about making it grassroots.

This is about remembering where you came from.

You are the woman who was on the bus.

You are the woman who went all the way.

You are the woman who was not given enough time to prepare, who was pushed into the spotlight and then pushed aside when you became inconvenient.

That is your story.

That is your power.

That is your truth.

When you choose to have a conversation with me, you must know:

You cannot have the same team that you had in the past.

The people who advised you before, who shaped your campaign, who made the calculations—they failed you. They failed the people. They failed the Palestinian people. They failed the grassroots. They failed Black people.

When you deal with me, you deal with a new beginning.

But I do expect you to create your own party, write your own charter, define your own principles, stand for something, and stand against the old ways.

And when you do, I will give you my endorsement.

Let us redesign the DNC together.

Let us give it an honorable ending—not a violent one, not a bitter one, but a dignified one.

Let us create a museum for it. A place where we can celebrate the New Deal, the Civil Rights Act, and the Voting Rights Act.

A place where we can honor the greats—Kennedy, Malcolm X, Roosevelt.

And then let us build something new.

Do not let the machine trap you.

Do not let the old guard tell you that your journey is over.

You deserve to be president.

You deserve to run.

You deserve to have your own party.

You deserve to celebrate Black history.

You deserve to get off the bus—not to stop the journey, but to continue it on your own terms.

No one in the DNC should deny you.

And you should not deny yourself.

A Final Note

If I ever meet you, I don't want to meet anyone who has ever been to Israel or supports Israel. I am starting on neutral ground. And the people who have spilled the blood of the Palestinians and betrayed the DNC—I don't want to shake their hands or meet them. So when we meet, make sure you have people who are new. This is a new start for you. This is your dream. This is your ticket. I'm your bus driver, and I'm going to make sure you, as a Black woman and a minority, are treated fairly and welcomed.

May God bless you. Bless your health. Make you happy. Keep you present in the moments that bring you joy. Turn the page and write your own story. Write your own ending. Be an example to women—because women who don't get up when they get knocked down leave an incomplete example for those who follow.

Hillary Clinton is a good example of perseverance. I will be writing to her as well. I want all the women who are going to help build the future to start their engines, because we are beginning a new journey—a new opportunity for every woman in the Democratic Party.
