6 Ways Biden is Delivering – just list

January 30, 2024

Protecting Abortion Rights and Reproductive Freedom: Despite Republicans’ continued attacks on abortion rights, President Biden has protected reproductive freedom by:

  • Signing Executive Orders to protect access to reproductive health care, including abortion and contraception, and to protect patient privacy.
  • Committing to fighting state or local officials who attempt to stop women from traveling out of state for medical care.
  • Appointing federal judges who will protect reproductive freedom..

Defending Democracy: While Donald Trump promises to be a dictator “on day one,” President Biden has prioritized the fight for American democracy by:

  • Doubling the number of voting rights attorneys at the Department of Justice to ensure Americans’ voting rights are protected.
  • Promoting access to voting and making it easier for Americans to register to vote through a whole-of-government effort, including by engaging with historically underserved communities.
  • Advancing workers’ rights and the right to collective bargaining. As President Biden said, “A union means there is democracy. Democracy. Organizing, joining a union — that’s democracy in action.”

Combatting Antisemitism: President Biden implemented the first-ever National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, which includes over 100 actionable steps being taken by President Biden and Vice President Harris, including: 

  • Launching an Antisemitism Awareness Campaign through the Department of Education to ensure all students can attend schools free of discrimination.
  • Providing Synagogues and Jewish community spaces with additional resources to ensure our safety.
  • Ensuring, for the first time in writing, that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits forms of antisemitic discrimination in federally funded programs and activities.

Standing with Israel: President Biden entered office with a longer history of support for Israel than any other U.S. President. He has stood by Israel by:

  • Becoming the first sitting U.S. President to travel to Israel during a time of war, a historic show of solidarity with Israel after the horrific attacks on October 7.
  • Asking Congress for $14 billion in emergency aid to Israel in October 2023, which still has not passed because House Republicans continue to block it.
  • Playing a leading role in diplomatic efforts and negotiations to ensure the safe return of 110 hostages taken by Hamas and continuing to work for the release of the remaining hostages.

Delivering the Most Aggressive Climate Agenda in U.S. History: The historic passage of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act will help combat climate change by:

  • Positioning the U.S. to achieve our goal of cutting our emissions in half by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050.
  • Signing over 100 executive actions to develop clean energy, lower costs, create jobs, reduce pollution, and establish the American Climate Corps.
  • Focusing on environmental justice by investing in clean and equitable solutions in historically marginalized communities. 

Lowering Costs and Continuing to Build our Economy: After inheriting economic turmoil from Donald Trump’s inability to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, President Biden has led our historic economic recovery by:

  • Uplifting small businesses by providing entrepreneurs in underserved communities with resources to start businesses and succeed. Americans filed a record 16 million new business applications since 2021. 
  • Lowering drug prices, forgiving $136.6 billion in student loans for 3.2 million Americans, and creating good-paying jobs to ensure the technologies of the future are made in America.
  • Lowering healthcare costs by ensuring more Americans than ever before in U.S. history have health insurance.
