Fueling Harris’s campaign is a historic fundraising effort. Team Harris announced a staggering $310 million raised in July, marking the largest single-month haul of the 2024 cycle.

One of the major ways to help combat the obstacles young Black men face is by aligning themselves with a strong support system. Black Greek letter organizations provide a robust support system that can be instrumental in navigating the complexities of college life. For many young Black men, entering a university, whether it be a Predominantly White Institution (PWI), Predominantly Black Institution (PBI), Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), or a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) amongst others, entering college itself can be daunting and isolating. Black Greek letter organizations offer a sense of belonging and brotherhood that is essential for mental and emotional well-being.
