Last week, I carried on the long tradition of signing the desk in the Vice President's Ceremonial Office. Though we may have disagreed on certain policy matters, former Vice Presidents and I have shared a love of country and worked every day on behalf of the American people.

The promise of this nation is real. And the progress that we've made possible during this Administration wasn't just about today, it was about tomorrow. It was about showing that America – and American democracy – works. Not just for the privileged few. But for all of us.

Too many Americans have been impacted by gun violence. As I told Kya: It does not have to be this way. We know the solutions. We need universal background checks, red flag and safe storage laws, and an assault weapons ban.

Throughout my entire career, I have worked to make our communities safer. Our Administration has taken bold steps to end the epidemic of gun violence, but there is more work to do to save lives. We need an assault weapons ban, red flag laws, and universal background checks.

The Equal Rights Amendment is the 28th Amendment, and it is the law of the land.
For Immediate Release Statement from Vice President Kamala Harris on the Equal Rights Amendment January 17, 2025 Equality is a fundamental promise of our democracy. That is why the Equal Rights Amendment belongs in our Constitution. It makes our nation stronger, and it is the law of the land because the American people have spoken in states across our nation. History teaches us that civil rights are fought for and won with every generation. That continues to be true today, which is why I have spent my career fighting for freedoms and to expand opportunities for women and girls. It has always been clear that when we lift up women, we lift up children, families, communities, and all of society. Now, Americans must continue to fight for a more equal and just nation where everyone has the opportunity to realize the promise of America.

Today, President Biden granted clemency to nearly 2,500 people convicted of non-violent drug offenses. @POTUS and I believe in the power of redemption. This action corrects sentencing disparities and is an important step toward righting historic wrongs.

Doulas like Venus understand the importance of postpartum care. In 2021, I challenged states to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage from 2 months to 12. Now, 47 states have answered the call, and more women and children are receiving the care they need.
