Ahead of Kamala Harris' mega rally with singer Beyonce in Houston on Friday, a video surfaced from the Shell Energy Stadium which showed a large crowd 'swag surfing.' The 21,000 capacity home stadium of Houston's Major League Soccer team was filled to the brims for the rally, with several people even standing on the pitch.Here's the viral swag surfing video:
After a thunderous introduction by Beyonce, Harris, in hisspeech, spoke about various bans, such as “women having fewer options" and a decline in medical students choosing women’s health specializations. A video then played, showing Trump’s pride in overturning Roe v. Wade, followed by personal stories of women facing challenges in accessing maternal care.“We must speak her name,” Harris said of Amber Nicole Thurman, a Georgia woman who died from sepsis after waiting over 20 hours at the hospital for a routine procedure following an abortion. “To those women, I say, and I think I speak on behalf of all of us: we see you, and we are here with you,” Harris added, acknowledging the suffering of many women and their loved ones. “How dare he?” she asked, responding to Trump’s pride in reversing Roe.Harris also stressed that men have a role in advocating for abortion rights, noting, “Men across America do not want to see their daughters and wives and sisters and mothers put at risk because their rights have been taken.”There are currently thousands of people of swag surfing at the Harris campaign event in Houston, Texas focused on reproductive rights featuring women and men impacted by abortion bans and a likely Beyoncé performance. pic.twitter.com/bHLvdkz7PA
