Media Advisory: Vice President Kamala Harris to Travel to Hampton, VA

September 11, 2023

On Thursday, September 14, Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Hampton, VA to kick off her "Fight for Our Freedoms" College Tour with a visit to Hampton University where she will participate in a moderated conversation with Terrence J.

Vice President Harris's "Fight for Our Freedoms" College Tour is a month-long national swing to mobilize thousands of young people in the ongoing fight for fundamental freedoms and rights. She is set to visit around a dozen campuses including Hispanic-serving institutions, community colleges, apprenticeship programs, state schools, and additional HBCUs. At each stop, the Vice President will focus on key issues that disproportionately impact young people across America – from reproductive freedom and gun safety to climate action, voting rights, LGBTQ+ equality, and book bans.

This college tour is a continuation of the Vice President's dedicated work to energize, engage, and partner with young people throughout the country. She has already been to 11 college campuses this year after visiting 14 schools in 2022. Vice President Harris also regularly meets with young leaders wherever she goes – from climate leaders in Colorado to gun safety advocates in Virginia.

Media interested in attending Thursday's moderated conversation should RSVP HERE by 5:00 pm ET on Wednesday, September 13. The Vice President's arrival at Newport News-Williamsburg International Airport will be covered by pooled press.
