Vice President Harris Has Always Been a Champion of Justice & Equality

3 months ago 19

From advocating for affordable health care to being a fearless protector of abortion rights, Vice President Kamala Harris has consistently been on the right side of the issues. 

As a senator, she co-sponsored legislation to ban states from imposing restrictions on reproductive rights. She was also the first vice president to visit an abortion clinic

She’s continued to lead an unapologetic campaign to protect abortion rights

She also has a track record of fighting for workers. As a senator, she fought to end discriminatory pay practices and advocated to close the gender pay gap.

As vice president, she led a White House task force designed to protect workers’ rights to unionize. 

As a district attorney and prosecutor, she consistently stood up to Big Oil. She even set up an environmental justice unit aimed at holding polluters accountable for targeting poor communities. 

In the Senate, she supported bold climate policy. As vice president, she made the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, which was the largest investment for climate action in history. 

Harris has always been an outspoken champion for fair access to quality health care. 

As a senator, she made it a priority to advocate for more-affordable health care, with a special focus on improving Black maternal health outcomes. 

And this year, she announced a new effort to ban medical debt from credit reports. 

She’s also introduced policies to rethink how we approach criminal justice

As a district attorney, she launched a reentry program called “Back on Track” to provide low-level drug defendants with the resources needed to turn their lives around.

In her role as vice president in the Biden administration, she’s been a key part of a number of wins:

Downgrading the classification of marijuana Drastically lowering the price of drugs for seniors Creating more than 11 million jobs Canceling more than $7.7 billion in student debt Securing historic legislation for a fairer tax code  Increasing federal funding for affordable housing

 

If elected as president, there’s no question that Kamala Harris will continue to be a progressive champion of justice. 

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will continue building on these achievements to create a future where everyone has a chance to succeed.
