NEW YORK – A group called ‘Greek Americans for Harris’ has issued a call in support of Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the presidency of the United States.

The text of the group’s press release follows:

“In the spirit of our shared Hellenic heritage, the Greek Americans for Harris community proudly joins President Joe Biden in endorsing and supporting Vice President Kamala Harris for President in the 2024 presidential election.

With over 8,000 dedicated members, our group recognizes the critical importance of aligning ourselves with leaders who embody the Greek ideals of freedom, democracy, and independence and who will take the fight to Donald Trump to preserve these ideals and WIN!

Vice President Harris has consistently demonstrated her commitment to upholding democratic principles, fostering unity, embracing diversity, and fighting for the rights of all – values that resonate deeply with our community. In these challenging times, her leadership reflects the resilience and strength defined in our Greek heritage, and we believe she is uniquely positioned to lead our nation forward. This election will be a choice between two very different visions for the future: Vice President Harris is fighting for a future that strengthens our democracy, protects reproductive freedom, and ensures every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but to get ahead. Donald Trump is running to enact his extreme and dangerous Project 2025 agenda that would roll back Americans’ rights and freedoms, hurt the middle class, and threaten our democracy.

In these unprecedented times and in this extraordinary election, the need for collective action is more urgent than ever. As a community, we come together and are ready to do the work for our country. The time to act is now.

We extend an invitation to all Greek Americans to join us on Facebook at Greek Americans For Harris and on Instagram at GreekAmericansForHarris to support and protect our democracy by electing Kamala Harris as our next President this November! ‘Δεν Γυρίζουμε Πίσω’: Together We Can Win This!”
