Four years ago, Donald Trump pulled our country out of the Paris Climate Accord, taking away years of crucial progress in the fight against climate change.
However, since President Biden took office, we’ve come a long way towards erasing this shame -- and have rejoined the international community in the Paris Accord.
But to combat everything Trump did over his administration, we need a Congress willing to take action -- not one mired in partisan squabbling, just like Mike Garcia is trying to promote.
The shame from the Trump presidency doesn’t stop at climate -- there are so many ways that America has let down vulnerable communities. The military transgender ban. The Muslim travel ban. Rolling back health care coverage for millions of Americans. And the denial of facts and science that cost lives and livelihoods during this pandemic.
That damage is on its way to being undone. In his first 100 days, President Biden reversed the military transgender ban and the Muslim travel ban and expanded health care coverage.
