Jennifer Lawrence has officially revealed her endorsement for the 2024 presidential election.
The actress also revealed that she will produce two documentary films reflecting her political values leading up to the election. The first, "Bread and Roses," focuses on three women living under Taliban rule in Afghanistan. The second, "Zurawski v.

Ahead of those documentary films, Jennifer Lawrence is opening up about her endorsement, emphasizing that “abortion is on the ballot.”

In a recent interview, the 34-year-old actress expressed her support for Democratic nominees Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Explaining her decision, Lawrence said, “Abortion is on the ballot”. She praised the policies of the current Vice President, highlighting her commitment to protecting reproductive rights across the U.S.. This stance mirrors the protections previously established by Roe v. Wade before its overturning in 2022.
“I’m voting for Kamala Harris because I think she’s an amazing candidate and I know that she will do whatever she can to protect reproductive rights,” Lawrence said, per People Magazine. “That’s the most important thing, is to not let somebody into the White House who is going to ban abortion.”

Vice President Harris has expressed her support for eliminating the filibuster in the U.S. Senate to reinstate federal protections for a woman’s right to an abortion, similar to those established under Roe v. Wade.
"I've been very clear, I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe, and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom and for the ability of every person and every woman to make decisions about their own body and not have their government tell them what to do," Harris told Wisconsin Public Radio host Kate Archer Kent.
In her first week as the presumptive Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris made abortion rights the centerpiece of her campaign rally in Milwaukee, emphasizing the importance of protecting reproductive freedoms.
“We, who believe in reproductive freedom, will stop Donald Trump’s extreme abortion bans because we trust women to make decisions about their own bodies and not have their government telling them what to do,” Harris said at the Massachusetts event in July. “If there are those who dare to take the freedom to make such a fundamental decision for an individual, which is about one’s own body, what other freedoms could be on the table for the taking?”

Jennifer Lawrence further revealed that in the lead-up to the election, she plans to produce two documentary films that reflect her political values.
“As online trolls like to point out every time I get involved in politics, I didn’t go to school, I dropped out of middle school, so I don’t have a classic education. So storytelling is where I get most of my education,” Lawrence told People.
