A little over one year away from the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris is launching a bus tour to mobilize youth voting across the country.
The "Fight for our Freedoms College Tour," headlined by Harris, will begin at Virginia's Hampton University on Sept. 14. Some of the states she will visit are key battlegrounds in next year's electoral contest, such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Virginia, per ABC News.
In a statement, Harris said, "This generation is critical to the urgent issues that are at stake right now for our future."
"It is young leaders throughout America who know what the solutions look like and are organizing in their communities to make them a reality," the vice president continued. "My message to students is clear: We are counting on you, we need you, you are everything."
However, the tour won't be confined to four-year college campuses. Harris plans to visit various types of schools, including community and technical colleges, apprenticeship programs, and historically black colleges and universities. She is an alumna of the famous HBCU Howard University.
