Following the speech, Harris is expected to speak with New Jersey state legislators about protecting access reproductive health, including abortions, in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to strike down Roe V. Wade.
This will be the vice president's second trip to the Philadelphia region in the past two days.
Harris was in Philadelphia on Saturday to speak with Pennsylvania state legislatures to fight for reproductive rights. In Philadelphia, she endorsed Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman for U.S. Senate -- one reason being his stance on abortion.
The issue of reproductive rights has been magnified ever since the Supreme Court last month overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that granted people the right to an abortion at the federal level. As it stands, states now have the right to impose their own abortion laws.
