President Biden: Protect Democracy Before Trump Takes Office

There is no doubt: The re-election of Donald Trump as president has immense implications for the future of our democratic norms, institutions, and processes. Now that he is ensured a second term, he can carry out the dangerous proposals outlined in The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 – which lays out a vision of America built on breaking up immigrant families with mass deportations, denying trans people needed medical care, stripping away our right to an abortion, punishing dissent and political opposition, and so much more.

The stakes couldn't be higher and that is why we are urging President Biden to do everything in his power before he leaves office to preserve our democracy and mitigate the harm vulnerable communities may experience under the second Trump administration. Please join us in these calls to the Biden administration today. Sign our petition.

President Biden:

As you fulfill your democratic obligation by preparing for a peaceful transfer of power, we also ask that you pursue all available executive actions to safeguard the long-term health of our democracy. You remain the president and leader of this country until January 20 at noon, and your leadership is needed more now than ever. We specifically urge you to leave no stone unturned, in your remaining time in office, in prioritizing swift and decisive actions that will:

  • Commute federal death sentences to life
  • Institute a moratorium on all federal government purchases of Americans’ data without a warrant
  • Issue a moratorium on the expansion of immigration detention facilities and close abusive detention facilities
