On Thursday, January 11, Vice President Kamala Harris will return to Charlotte, NC to highlight the latest actions by the Biden-Harris Administration to reduce gun violence. She will convene educators, counselors, parents, gun safety advocates, and local and state leaders, and will announce new funding from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that will help schools throughout the state and across the country increase access to mental health resources for their students. She will be joined by U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona.
This will be Vice President Harris's ninth trip to North Carolina since being sworn in. In September, she visited Greensboro as part of her "Fight for Our Freedoms" college tour in which she energized more than 15,000 students and young leaders at HBCUs, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, community colleges, apprenticeship programs, and public universities. Prior to that, she was in Charlotte to deliver remarks about reproductive freedom during a rally to observe the one-year anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
