Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. forms a political action committee

The first sorority established for Black women, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., has filed paperwork to form a political action committee (PAC). The new PAC, titled the 1908 PAC, will allow the organization to create the runway in order to raise money in support of federal candidates. This announcement compliments AKA’s voter registration, education and mobilization campaigns. Harris recently spoke to crowds at the annual convention, Boulé, in Dallas in July. She was rocking the group’s signature salmon pink and apple green while championing the sorority’s impact on her career’s trajectory. “You are such an incredible part of my journey and I love you guys,” she said, as members shouted “skee-wee,” the sorority’s signature call. Four years ago at the Democratic National Convention, Harris extolled the virtues of AKA. “Family is my beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha, our Divine Nine, and my HBCU brothers and sisters,” Harris, a member of AKA, said at the time. The Vice President of the United States, Kamala D. Harris, waves to the crowd after arriving at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Saturday, December 16, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia.
