Vice President Kamala Harris to Address Gun Violence and Community Safety in Las Vegas
By TheNevadaGlobeStaff, April 15, 2024 4:24 pm
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to focus on gun violence and community safety during her upcoming visit to Las Vegas. Scheduled as her fourth visit to the state this year, Harris will engage in a conversation about the impacts of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
Joining her will be a diverse panel consisting of students, educators, parents, and gun safety advocates. Notable participants include Department of Health and Human Services Deputy Assistant Secretary Sonia Chessen, U.S. Representative Dina Titus, Moms Demand Action Executive Director Angela Ferrell-Zabala, and actress and advocate Xochitl Gomez.
The discussion is slated to commence around 12:30 p.m. PT, with FOX5 planning to stream the event for viewers. This visit underscores the significance of addressing gun violence, a crucial aspect of the Biden-Harris administration’s policy agenda.
Additionally, Harris is expected to address reproductive rights, particularly in the wake of the recent Supreme Court decision upholding a near-total abortion ban in Arizona dating back to 1864. The Vice President’s engagements reflect ongoing efforts to tackle pressing issues facing the nation.
