ATLANTA - Vice President Kamala Harris will be joined by multiple special guests during a "When We Vote, We Win Rally" at the Atlanta Civic Center on Saturday. 

Harris will be joined by Academy and Peabody award-winning director Spike Lee and Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Victoria Monét.

Grammy Award-winning Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz, multi-faceted actor and rapper Big Tigger, multi-award-winning singer, rapper, songwriter, and actress Monica, and Pastor Troy are all expected to perform.

 The event will be from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Atlanta Civic Center, located at 395 Piedmont Ave NE. 

The event comes a day before a planned rally in Macon with former President Donald Trump.

"We are seeing incredible energy and enthusiasm on the ground," Matt Blakely, Georgia Rapid Response Director for the Harris-Walz campaign, wrote in a statement. "So as Trump and JD Vance parachute into our state, Georgians are ready to turn the page on Trump’s extreme Project 2025 agenda, which would raise costs on middle-class families by nearly $4,000 a year, gut access to health care, and slash Social Security and Medicare."
