Harris holds access to an untapped voting bloc: The Divine Nine
As a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, a Black Greek organization that is part of the “Divine Nine,” Harris has unique access to millions of members who are used to mobilizing, organizing and volunteering.
The Divine 9.
This election will come down to voter turnout and keeping your side engaged.
To that effect, I wanted to shed some light on an important ally that VP Harris has, that the former President does not. The Divine 9 of historically black sororities and fraternities.
Within the African American culture, these organizations have a long, long history of being in their respective communities, organizing, among other things, voter resignation and voter turnout.
There are over 4 million Black Greeks with active Alumni Chapters/undergrad chapters all over the world.
Some examples of famous members:
Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Alpha)
John Lewis (Sigma)
Roland Martin (Alpha)
Rev. Jesse Jackson (Que)
Cedric The Entertainment (Kappa)
Emmitt Smith (Sigma)
Jerry Rice (Sigma)
Actress Loretta Divine (AKA)
Steve Harvey (Que)
Thurgood Marshall (Alpha)
Honestly- it's too many to name, but these organizations and their members are HIGHLY motivated to get people registered and to the polls.
