CHARLOTTE — Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver a speech in Charlotte on Saturday, June 24. The vice president’s appearance comes at the one-year mark since the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturning Roe v. Wade.  

Harris has criticized the decision on several occasions, in one public statement saying, “Since the Dobbs decision, extremist elected officials continue to undermine and attack reproductive freedom. They have pushed for a wide range of radical policies, from banning abortion in all 50 states to threatening access to safe and effective FDA-approved medication.”
