Michelle Obama will headline star-studded rally for Kamala Harris: Who will appear? Here are the details

Days after former president Barack Obama scolded Black men for their hesitancy to support Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid to beat Donald Trump in the Nov. 5 presidential election, the Harris campaign announced that former first lady Michelle Obama will headline a rally in Atlanta a week before the election — alongside celebrities and civic leaders focusing on engaging younger and first-time voters, as well as voters of color.

The Oct. 29 event will be hosted by When We All Vote, a nonpartisan civic engagement group that Obama founded in 2018 to "change the culture around voting" and reach out to people who are less likely to engage in politics and elections.

The Obamas are the party's best-known figures, and they gave rousing speeches — viral takedowns of Trump — boosting Harris' candidacy at the national convention in August.

It is unclear which celebrities will attend the rally but organizers noted that the group's co-chairs include professional basketball players Stephen Curry and Chris Paul; musical artists Becky G, H.E.R., Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez and Janelle Monáe; beauty influencer Bretman Rock; and actors Tom Hanks, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Kerry Washington.

"The goal is to take the energy and momentum at the rally to the ballot box," Beth Lynk, executive director of When We All Vote, told the Associated Press. "We want to bring the culture, the energy and the momentum together in one big space."

Lynk said the group chose Atlanta because of the state's diversity and the impact that only a handful of voters can make in Georgia. About one-third of Georgia's electorate is Black alongside rapidly growing Asian American and Latino communities. When We All Vote is focused on engaging college students on campuses in the metropolitan Atlanta area, Lynk said.
