Lena Dunham to Campaign for Clinton-Kaine Tuesday at GMU

FAIRFAX, VA — Actress and director Lena Dunham will headline a voter registration drive Tuesday at George Mason University in support of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine.

The event is scheduled for 2:15 p.m. at the Clock Tower.

In Virginia, voter registration runs through next Monday.

Dunham probably is best known as the creator, writer and star of the HBO series Girls, for which she has received numerous Emmy nominations and two Golden Globe awards.

Young voters are seen as a key voting bloc for Clinton, and Dunham, 30, has been outspoken in her dislike of Republican nominee Donald Trump, whose leaked, lewd comments about women from 2005 especially raised her ire.

“I think women, and people of color, and Muslims who have been searched at the airport, and trans people who have been denied their rights, all know what it feels like to have their body taken from them,” she told People magazine this week. “Those comments aren’t just about women — they were about everyone whose body is treated like the property of other people.”
