Media Advisory: Vice President Kamala Harris to Travel to Grand Rapids, MI

On Thursday, February 22, Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Grand Rapids, MI to continue her nationwide "Fight for Reproductive Freedoms" tour. During the fourth stop of her tour, the Vice President will highlight how organizers, advocates, and elected leaders in states like Michigan have worked to protect reproductive rights since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. This will be the Vice President's fourth visit to the state since being sworn in.

The Vice President's nationwide tour kicked off with a speech in Waukesha County, WI on Jan. 22 – 51 years to the day that Roe v. Wade was decided. The tour continued with a moderated conversation in San Jose, CA on Jan. 29 and a speech in Savannah, GA on Feb. 6. She is visiting states that are experiencing chaos and confusion after Roe v. Wade was overturned, states where women's reproductive freedom is being protected, and states with extreme abortion bans that are threatening the lives, health, and wellbeing of women. During each stop, Vice President Harris is holding extremists accountable for proposing a national abortion ban, highlighting the harm caused by extreme abortion bans, calling on Congress to restore the protections of Roe, and urging attendees to continue using their voices and stay engaged in the fight for fundamental freedoms.

This tour is a continuation of the Vice President's leadership in the fight for reproductive rights. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, she has held more than 60 convenings in 20 states while bringing together hundreds of elected officials, health care providers, faith leaders, students, and advocates who are on the frontlines of the fight for reproductive freedom.
