These actions would lower health care costs, cancel federal student loan debt, expand worker power, raise wages, advance immigrants’ rights, combat the climate crisis, and so much more.
Over the past year, Democrats in Congress and the White House have worked to not only recover from the pandemic and Trump years, but to deliver greater equity and economic security for people across the country. Tremendous progress has been made, but that work is far from done.
That’s why the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which I proudly Chair, released a list of executive actions President Biden can and should take right away to deliver for our families, our communities, and our planet.
These executive actions would activate agencies across the federal government to lower health care costs, cancel federal student loan debt, expand worker power, raise wages, advance immigrants’ rights, combat the climate crisis, and so much more.
Democrats must use all the tools available to affect change for the people — that means legislation and executive action. President Biden must use his executive power to effect change. If you’re with me and ready to see Democrats deliver major victories for the people, please chip in $3 now to fuel my calls for action.

If President Biden takes the actions we’re recommending, here are just some of the positive outcomes we'll see:
- 38 million people will pay less money for their prescription drugs
- 43 million borrowers will be relieved of the heavy burden of student loan debt
- Millions of workers will get a raise after we increase the overtime eligibility threshold
- Millions of workers will get paid sick leave and vacation time
- Immigrants coming from countries in crisis will immediately be offered refuge
- Reducing mass incarceration and stopping the expansion of private prisons for immigrant detention
- Closing loopholes to make sure Wall Street is paying their fair share of taxes
- Investments in clean energy, clean air, and clean water to save lives and our planet
There is so much we can do right now to help families struggling to pay their bills and crises that threaten our communities and our planet.
Help fuel our work to make these executive actions a reality with a contribution today. We can only do this with all of your support — and together, we WILL deliver for the people! Can you chip in?
In solidarity,
