April 29, 2021 marks President Biden’s 100th day in office. In that time, Equity Forward has seen significant and encouraging action in both personnel appointed to the administration and the policy it has implemented. What we are missing, though, is boldness—the kind that moves beyond repair and into advancement.
On November 7, 2020, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were announced winners of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Since then, Equity Forward’s research team has tracked the names of nominees and appointees to key cabinet and leadership positions which have purview over our main issue areas regarding abortion, reproductive health and justice, and policies singularly impacting LGBTQ communities.
This fact sheet lays out Equity Forward’s transition recommendations for a new administration. Some of these recommendations were developed in collaboration with broader coalitions supporting the sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice movements, as well as the broader human rights sphere and groups working to protect science and evidence-based policymaking.
