Join NowKamala Harris’s History of Fighting for Us All
This election has already been historic, and we’re ready to keep making history. Vice President Kamala Harris is a groundbreaking leader who can and will carry this campaign to victory. She’s spent her career fighting for each and every person in this country. MoveOn members are ready to make history with her, as they endorse Kamala Harris for president in 2024.
Her History of Supporting Reproductive Freedom
Harris has shown unparalleled leadership in the fight for reproductive freedom. While leading an unapologetic campaign on abortion rights, she’s solidified the support of voters across our country in nearly 100 events since the fall of Roe v. Wade.
While doing that, she’s centered the lived experiences and stories from individuals who have experienced abortion, as well as abortion providers. She was the first-ever sitting president or vice president to visit an abortion provider.
Her History of Leading on Maternal Care
As a senator, Harris led the Maternal CARE Act, to address and reduce the crisis of racial disparity in maternal mortality. Since then, she’s led national efforts to elevate this crisis as a national priority.
In July, she announced new maternal health standards and led the first-ever Maternal Health Day of Action. She called for states to expand postpartum Medicaid for a full year, which resulted in 43 additional states doing so, for a total of 46 states offering this care.
Her History of Protecting Communities
Her career began as a prosecutor in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office. There, she specialized in child sexual assault cases. She continued her work as district attorney supporting domestic violence victims, in particular by providing resources for immigrant and non-English-speaking victims.
As vice president, she heads the first-ever White House Office on Gun Prevention, working to close the gun show loophole and prevent domestic abusers from purchasing guns. She’s also working to hire an additional 14,000 school mental health counselors.
Harris has co-sponsored gun violence prevention legislation in the Senate, which includes requiring background checks on all gun sales and prohibiting abusive dating partners and stalkers from having guns.
Her History of Defending Voting Rights
Harris has fiercely advocated for voting rights legislation. She has repeatedly called on Congress to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
Her History of Championing the Working and Middle Class
As chair of the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, Harris fights for workers’ rights daily. A fierce supporter of unions, she fights for dignity in the workplace, the right to a free and fair choice to join a union, and to reduce barriers to worker organizing.
Recently, she announced a new effort to ban medical debt from credit reports. This would have a significant impact on women and people of color, who are more likely to struggle with medical debt than their male and white counterparts.
In addition, Harris spearheaded the Biden-Harris administration’s work to expand access to capital in underserved communities. She also launched the Economic Opportunity Coalition, which leverages the private sector to accelerate new streams of financing for community lenders. This effort would support minority, rural, and low-income communities.
In February this year, Harris announced the administration’s efforts to lower the cost of child care for more than 100,000 working families who receive federal child care assistance.
Then in April, Harris announced two landmark rules to improve long-term care and support the economy. One would improve elder care and crack down on nursing homes that endanger residents. The other improves home care for seniors and people living with disabilities.
Her History of Championing the LGBTQ+ Community
Harris has championed the LGBTQ+ community throughout her career. In 2004, as district attorney, Harris performed one of the nation’s first same-sex marriages. Not only did she refuse to defend Proposition 8—which sought to bar same-sex marriages in California—but later, California Attorney General Harris performed the first same-sex wedding after the proposition was blocked by the courts.
She’s worked alongside President Biden to ensure federal employment protections for LGBTQ+ people and expand mental health resources for LGBTQ+ youth. In recognition of her long-standing work on the issue, President Biden handed Vice President Harris his pen after signing the Defense of Marriage Act.
Her History of Global Leadership
During her time as vice president, Harris has traveled to 21 countries, meeting with more than 150 world leaders in Europe, Southeast Asia, and Africa. She led the United State presence at the Munich Security Conference, where she first met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Harris has been making history since the start of her career and will continue to do so as president, which is why MoveOn members are proud to endorse her for president in 2024.
