Vice President Kamala Harris is set to make an appearance at three HBCUs as part of her “Fight For Our Freedoms” college tour.
According to a statement from the White House, the tour will focus on key issues that disproportionately impact young people across the country, including reproductive freedom, gun safety, climate action, voting rights, LGBTQ+ equality, and book bans.
“This generation is critical to the urgent issues that are at stake right now for our future,” said Vice President Harris. “It is young leaders throughout America who know what the solutions look like and are organizing in their communities to make them a reality. My message to students is clear: We are counting on you, we need you, you are everything.”
As students return to school, I'm launching a nationwide Fight For Our Freedoms College Tour.

I'll be back in states across America — from NC and GA to NV, AZ, VA, and beyond — to organize alongside the young people who are leading the fight for fundamental freedoms and rights.
As per the White House, “the Vice President will highlight how the Biden-Harris Administration has delivered for young people, outline the work ahead to protect fundamental freedoms and hear directly from students who are organizing on the frontlines of these fights. She will also urge attendees to register to vote, use their voice, and stay engaged.”
Vice President Harris’s “Fight for Our Freedoms College Tour” will include visits to historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, community colleges, apprenticeship programs, and state schools.
