SAN FRANCISCO — After a summer of national and global climate devastation, Vice President Kamala Harris made a stop at the Cowell Theater on Tuesday to tout Democrats’ progress on climate policy just weeks before the midterm elections.
During a wide-ranging conversation with podcasters Leah Stokes and Katharine Wilkinson for their show, “A Matter of Degrees,” Harris spoke about her Bay Area roots, the Inflation Reduction Act and environmental justice — including how women, low-income communities and communities of color often bear the brunt of harmful policies.
In one pointed moment, Harris noted a “Venn diagram” connection between states that have poor climate track records and those that are seeking to limit voting rights, reproductive healthcare and LGBTQ rights.
