Media Advisory: Vice President Kamala Harris to Travel to Las Vegas, NV

On Thursday, October 12, Vice President Kamala Harris will continue her "Fight for Our Freedoms" College Tour with a moderated conversation at the North Las Vegas campus of the College of Southern Nevada – a community college, Hispanic-Serving Institution, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution. This campus event will be the eighth stop on the Vice President's nationwide college tour.

Vice President Harris's "Fight for Our Freedoms" College Tour is a high-energy national swing that is mobilizing thousands of young people in the ongoing fight for fundamental freedoms and rights. She is visiting around a dozen campuses including HBCUs, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, community colleges, apprenticeship programs, and state schools. At each stop, the Vice President is focusing on key issues that disproportionately impact young people across America – from reproductive freedom and gun safety to climate action, voting rights, LGBTQ+ equality, mental health, and book bans.

The Vice President's college tour kicked off in September with stops at Hampton University, North Carolina A&T State University, Reading Area Community College, and IBEW Local 743 in Pennsylvania. She also participated in moderated conversations at Florida International University – one of the largest Hispanic Serving Institutions in the country – and Morehouse College where she spoke with students from four HBCUs. Prior to traveling to Nevada, Vice President Harris will be in South Carolina on Wednesday for an event at the College of Charleston. The tour is a continuation of her dedicated work to energize, engage, and partner with young people throughout the country. She has already been to 16 college campuses this year after visiting 14 schools in 2022.
