Vice President Kamala Harris announced a “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour across the United States.
The tour is designed to “organize, build community, and fight back” against what she considers a “full-on attack on a woman’s fundamental freedom to make decisions about her own body.”
In a video announcement on X, she said, “Hey, everyone. So I have some news. We’re heading back out on the road. This time we are going to start our fight for our reproductive freedoms tour.”
“We’re going to be organizing, we’re going to be gathering. We’re going to be building coalition and community to fight for reproductive freedom. There is a full-on attack in our country against the ability of people to just make decisions about their own body and their life. So, join me, I will see you soon, and take care.”
Across our nation, there is a full-on attack on a woman's fundamental freedom to make decisions about her own body.

According to a White House press release, Harris will “hold extremists accountable for proposing a national abortion ban, call on Congress to restore the protections of Roe, and outline steps the Administration is taking to protect access to health care.”
“Extremists across our country continue to wage a full-on attack against hard-won, hard-fought freedoms as they push their radical policies – from banning abortion in all 50 states and criminalizing doctors, to forcing women to travel out of state in order to get the care they need,” Harris stated. “I will continue to fight for our fundamental freedoms while bringing together those throughout America who agree that every woman should have the right to make decisions about her own body – not the government.”
The tour will start in Wisconsin on January 22.
