Dunham will "lay out the stakes of this election, discuss with voters why Donald Trump's pattern of disrespecting and demeaning women makes him unfit to hold our nation's highest office, and share her support for Clinton’s agenda to make us stronger together and raise the minimum wage, fight LGBT discrimination, ensure women have access to reproductive health care, and tackle climate change," the campaign said.
