Dear Vice President Kamala Harris,

I am a lifelong progressive, a radical feminist, and a Democrat who has followed your career closely. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you on three occasions: at an event sponsored by the Stanford University Black Students’ Association when you were the district attorney of San Francisco and I was the executive director of the Stanford Criminal Justice Center at Stanford Law School, in an elevator at an event about the plight of incarcerated women that was taking place at a journalism museum in Washington, D.C., when you were a senator from California, and at a fundraiser for your 2020 presidential campaign.
