Vice President Kamala Harris pens exclusive foreword for Her Campus’s “Our Bodies, Our Votes” Project.
In her foreword, Vice President Harris highlights the pivotal role young voters have played in shaping the political landscape:
“Young people have always been at the forefront of change. In 2020, young voters elected me the first woman Vice President in the history of our country. In 2022, young voters turned out in historic numbers to protect abortion rights in states from Michigan to Kentucky. And this November, it will be young people again who lead the fight to restore reproductive freedom across our nation.”
Her message is a clear call to action, urging young people to recognize that, “Your vote is your voice and your voice is your power.”
Our Bodies, Our Votesis a comprehensive editorial project that delves into the concerns and perspectives of Gen Z voters, with a specific focus on reproductive rights, which has emerged as the number one issue in the election for this demographic, according to Her Campus surveys conducted in 2024. This project will release Her Campus’s original data that highlights the overwhelming concern young people have regarding threats to reproductive freedom, particularly around women’s right to make their own healthcare decisions.
In addition to data-driven insights, Our Bodies, Our Votes shares powerful and personal stories from young women courageously speaking out about their experiences with reproductive rights, including prominent reproductive rights activist Hadley Duvall.
“Our Bodies, Our Votes is about amplifying the voices of Gen Z around this critical issue in the lead-up to this historic election,” said Stephanie Kaplan Lewis, Co-founder & CEO of Her Campus Media. “Through hard data that is then brought to life through deeply personal narratives, we aim to inform, empower, and galvanize Gen Zers to take action and ensure their voices are heard by voting.”
This latest installment follows the success of previous editions in the series: Our Bodies, Our Rules (published in 2017 after the election of Donald Trump) and Our Bodies, Our Rights (published after the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022). Both were met with widespread acclaim and received industry awards for their impactful data-driven storytelling and relevance.
