STATEMENT : Q1 2021

BUSINESS LEADER STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT BIDEN’S DAY ONE EXECUTIVE ACTIONS

IN SUPPORT OF REVOKING THE MUSLIM TRAVEL BAN, REJOINING THE PARIS CLIMATE ACCORD, AND ESTABLISHING PANDEMIC PRECAUTIONS AND RELIEF INTRODUCTION:

Business Forward helps local business leaders make the “business case” for climate action, affordable healthcare, immigration reform, diversity and inclusion, sensible tax laws, criminal justice reform, infrastructure investment, and other pro-growth reforms. These leaders brief policymakers, work with local media, publish op- eds, submit testimony, advocate online, and organize their communities. We also promote their recommendations through issue briefs, survey reports, training manuals, and podcasts. More than 650 mayors, governors, members of Congress, and senior Administration officials have participated in our briefings.

We asked business leaders across our network to add their name to a statement in support of President Biden’s day one executive actions, including revoking the Muslim travel ban, rejoining the Paris Climate Accord, and establishing pandemic precautions and relief.

More than 1,000 business leaders responded, and their comments are featured in this statement document.

2 STATEMENT:

By signing this letter, we demonstrate business leaders’ support for President Biden’s actions that will set the United States on the path to building a more economically competitive, inclusive America, and a cleaner, healthier, more prosperous future.
