Alicia Keys, who is campaigning for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania today, refused to mention Donald Trump by name while warning that his platform would “turn back the clock” on women’s rights.
“If you don’t vote for her, if you don’t vote at all, you’re voting for chaos and hate,” she told a crowd in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, where she appeared with former first lady Michelle. Obama.
“You are voting for a harsh tomorrow for immigrants, people of color, women, girls, our children, and our planet,” she said.
Keys said she wants to see her children “grow up in a world where they can see that leadership has many faces, and that one of them looks like Kamala Harris.”
She added: “It’s crazy because a lot of people think women can’t drive just because they haven’t seen enough of it. When our kids look around in their classrooms at the pictures of presidents hanging on the wall, every single one of them is a man, and a black man. No wonder it’s hard for many to imagine a female president. They’ve never seen one, and if they can’t see it, how can they believe it?
Keys noted that women “have reproductive freedom, but not so much now, and that’s why we’re still fighting today. That’s why we can’t be relieved, because they’re already starting to take away those rights. If it’s already done with Roe. vs. Wade, what makes us think that there can’t be a leader of the other side saying: “Forget equal pay.” Women don’t need it. Or: “We don’t need to educate women anymore.” They can just stay at home. They don’t work anyway.”
She added: “This is not a miserable Netflix show I’m talking about. This is like the platform the other side is working on. They want to turn the clock back.”
