Vice President Kamala Harris Returns To Charlotte To Discuss The Climate Crisis
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Vice President Kamala Harris will return to Charlotte, NC for her fourth trip to the state this year and 12th since being sworn in.
During her visit, the Vice President will discuss the Biden-Harris Administration’s historic investments in climate action and continue her leadership on addressing the climate crisis, advancing environmental justice, and increasing access to capital throughout the country including in underserved communities. She will be joined by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan.
Last week, the Vice President was in Raleigh with President Biden to highlight their ongoing work to lower prescription drug costs, protect Medicare and Medicaid, and fight for reproductive freedom. Last month, Vice President Harris also visited Black Wall Street in Durham to announce investments in strengthening entrepreneurship, increasing access to capital, and supporting small businesses. She began 2024 by visiting Eastway Middle School in Charlotte to announce $285 million in funding to help schools across the nation hire and train mental health counselors. This funding is a result of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years.
