When Barack Obama and Joe Biden ran together prior to the 2008
presidential elections, they had an incredible amount of support from
celebrities including Alicia Keys. While some of this support has
wavered in the years following Obama’s victory, many continue to
maintain that he is the right man to lead the country for the next four
years.
Keys wants to motivate women to recognize how having Obama in the White
House affects their rights. Tomorrow, she will be in Philadelphia
where she will host the Women Vote 2012 Summit, which is a free event at
the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Her co-hosts include Obama
advisor, Valerie Jarrett, and Democratic National Committee Chair,
Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
The women intend to educate the female audience about President Obama’s stance on women’s issues and rights while also discussing the potential impact and changes that would occur if presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney, were win.
The singer said: "In his three years in office, President Obama has been an advocate for us since day one -- from making health care more accessible and affordable to ensuring women can fight for equal pay for an equal day's work."
