While I’m stage, the two discussed key issues impacting young people across America, from reproductive freedom and gun safety to climate action, voting rights, LGBTQ+ equality, mental health, and book bans. Before leaving, she urged attendees to register to vote and fielded questions directly from students.

Following her visit to RACC, the Vice President traveled to a job training facility in Spring Township at IBEW Local 743, where she spoke with members of an apprenticeship program to highlight the Administration’s commitment to union job training programs.
