“We the People” is the theme of former Vice President Kamala Harris’s speech, which she will deliver Wednesday night in San Francisco. Harris will critique the Trump administration’s first 100 days in office and empower the audience to create their version of America.
Although she has spoken recently at a few events like the NAACP Image Awards, this address will be her first extensive public remarks at the Emerge 20th Anniversary Gala in San Francisco. Emerge is a candidate training program that backs Democratic women.
,Harris will honor the organization’s legacy of empowering women in politics with a speech focused on empowering Americans and helping them understand that they can make the America they want by getting involved. Harris is said to be clear that no one’s coming to save us with the idea that collective change can happen.

Politico has previously reported that Harris is “seriously considering” a run for governor in 2026 to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has served since 2019 and is termed out. A bid for the governor’s office would likely mean Harris would not run for president in 2028, which she is also considering.
Harris is set to decide on a potential gubernatorial run by the end of this summer.
