The Present: This Moment Feels Urgent

The summer of 2024 will no doubt go down in history as one of the most tumultuous, transformative, and monumental summers before an election. Following Biden’s historic decision to step down from the race, Vice President Kamala Harris’ rise to the top of the Democratic ticket shifted the national sentiment into high gear and generated Obama-level excitement among constituents. In Part 2 of The Path Forward, we hear from four women voters across the country about how they’re processing this year’s election, the issues at the top of their mind, and what their vision for a country that works for everyone could look like.     Credits: Created, directed and written by Fola OnifadeProduced and edited by Olivia ParkerSpecial thanks to Sharline Chiang and the Democracy in Color Team
