A New Day For America

In his inaugural address, President Biden said this is a time for boldness, for there is so much to do. He’s right. And while the work is just beginning, it really does feel like a new day for America — not only because of the President’s words but because of his actions.

Today, thanks to executive orders and other directives signed by the President hours after taking office, we are closer to ending this pandemic and better prepared for the next one. Fewer Americans will be evicted from their homes or fall behind on their student loan payments. Dreamers won’t have to live in fear of being deported from the country they call home. The so-called Muslim ban is no longer the law of the land. And by rejoining the Paris climate accords, the United States will once again lead the fight against climate change.
