ANN ARBOR, MI -- The highly anticipated Fighting for Reproductive Freedom Bus Tour, spearheaded by Vice President Kamala Harris, is set to make a memorable stop in Ann Arbor with a surprise appearance by actor Adam Scott, famed for his role as Ben Wyatt in the beloved sitcom “Parks and Recreation.”

Scheduled for Monday, September 23, Scott will join Michigan Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II to energize supporters and volunteers at this significant event, dedicated to discussing reproductive rights and mobilizing voters. While specific details about the time and venue have not yet been released, those interested in attending are encouraged to stay tuned for updates or reach out to their local Democratic party office for more information.

Scott isn’t just stopping by for a photo op; his presence underscores the cultural weight of this issue. Beyond “Parks and Recreation,” he’s recognized for his performances in renowned shows like “Severance,” “Party Down,” and the hilarious film “Step Brothers.” His star power will likely attract a crowd and amplify the tour’s message.

The bus tour began on September 3 in Palm Beach, Florida, and aims to cover at least 50 cities across key states, including Michigan. Following the kick-off, the Michigan leg will commence in Madison Heights, featuring not only Adam Scott but also a star-studded lineup from the TV show “Scandal,” including Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn. Their participation signifies the importance of this campaign in mobilizing not just voters but also influential figures who resonate with the public.

Subsequent stops in Michigan will include cities such as Flint, Lansing, Grand Rapids, and Marquette. Each location will spotlight the Harris-Walz agenda for reproductive freedom, contrasting it against the policies proposed by former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance.

“Reproductive freedom is on the ballot in Michigan, and electing Vice President Harris is crucial for restoring rights that have been threatened,” emphasized Caroline Stollar, deputy press secretary for the MI Democratic Coordinated Campaign. With a nod to “Parks and Recreation,” she aptly noted that Trump’s policy proposals are a resounding “Knope,” reflecting the show's charismatic character, Leslie Knope, played by Amy Poehler.

This tour is not just a political maneuver; it's a crucial opportunity for voters to engage in the conversation around reproductive rights that continues to evolve in America. With celebrities like Adam Scott stepping into the political arena, it blurs the lines between entertainment and activism, encouraging a younger demographic to get involved.
