The campaign rally for Kamala Harris will take place in New York City next week and feature a star-studded lineup of performers from both stage and screen.
Among the notable personalities scheduled to appear are Anne Hathaway, Kelli O’Hara, Kristin Chenoweth, and Audra McDonald.

In addition to the evening rally, a daytime virtual phone bank named “Kamala Dial-A-Thon” will be held, where volunteers will aim to make 1 million phone calls alongside Broadway and Hollywood talent to encourage voter turnout.
