Jennifer Lawrence, the Oscar-winning actress known for her roles in films like ‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘Silver Linings Playbook,’ has thrown her support behind Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election. In a recent interview, Lawrence made it clear that her decision was driven by a deep concern for the future of reproductive rights in the United States.
Lawrence’s endorsement comes on the heels of her co-producing a documentary with Hillary Clinton that delves into the lives of women whose lives have been significantly impacted by the overturning of Roe v Wade. The film, which is still in production, explores the devastating consequences of losing access to safe and legal abortion, a critical issue that resonates deeply with Lawrence.
“I think she’s an amazing candidate and I know that she will do whatever she can to protect reproductive rights,” Lawrence stated, emphasizing her belief that Harris is the right candidate to champion this cause. “That’s the most important thing, to not let somebody into the White House who is going to ban abortion.”
Lawrence’s endorsement of Harris extends beyond mere words. She recently showcased her political allegiance through her clothing, sporting a camouflage cap embroidered with the names of Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in neon orange stitching. The choice of this particular camo print, often associated with right-wing groups but increasingly reappropriated by liberals, adds another layer of intrigue to her statement.
While attending an event with actress Dakota Johnson, Lawrence donned the cap with a cobalt hoodie, sweatpants, and a Phoebe Philo Gig bag. Her fashion choice, combined with her outspoken support for Harris, underscores her commitment to engaging in the political dialogue surrounding reproductive rights.
Lawrence, who is expecting her second child, has openly acknowledged the profound impact pregnancy has had on her life. “I had a very fortunate pregnancy,” she shared in a 2022 profile. “But every single second of my life was different. And it would occur to me sometimes: what if I was forced to do this?” This personal experience, coupled with her deep understanding of the challenges faced by women who lack access to safe abortion care, has fueled her activism and her decision to publicly endorse Kamala Harris.
