As a human rights organization, Heartland Alliance is eager for President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris to implement their campaign commitments to address the deadly COVID-19 pandemic, end harmful immigration policies, create jobs, pursue police reform, and address systemic racism. We look forward to an administration that will be less isolationist in foreign affairs, more willing to work with civil society, and more apt to make human rights a part of US diplomacy. These are matters of life and death for the people we serve – immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, Black men and women, vulnerably-housed individuals, people involved in the criminal legal system, and people living in poverty.
Yet, even with so much to look forward to, we know there is still a tremendous amount of national healing, reckoning, and restoration that needs to take place. Our nation’s recovery won’t be achieved overnight, especially with a divided nation, and that’s why Heartland Alliance will remain focused and vigilant in our pursuit to achieve equity and opportunity for all.
Heartland Alliance is grateful for our partners and supporters who have stood in solidarity with us throughout one of the most challenging times in our history. We look forward to stepping into the next era together as courageous champions of human rights.
