New York, Nov 10 (TIWN) Indian-American organisations and leaders are seeing the announcement of the election of Kamala Harris as the next US Vice President as a vindication of the dream of America as the land of opportunities and look forward to working with her and Joe Biden as President in healing the national divide.

"A generation of Indian-Americans made this country their home because they knew it meant anything was possible for their children. Today, the daughter of one of those Indian-Americans proved their faith," said Neil Makhija, the executive director of the Indian-American Impact Fund, an advocacy and political action group.  He said that the Indian-American community coming out to vote in key states like Pennsylvania and Arizona took the Biden-Harris team to victory.  IMPACT raised $10 million to support the voter turnout efforts of the Asian and Indian American community "in critical states, including Pennsylvania and Arizona, where our community's engagement was enough to make the margin".  The organisation spent nearly $2 million in each of the key states, Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina, and Texas, to get more from the community to vote, he said.
