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.

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.

It is incredibly important that pandemic precautions

be implemented so that we may continue to

operate safely. The lack of standards has made it difficult working across

regions and different communities.

““

- SAMANTHA HOPE HERRING FREEPORT, FL

The pandemic relief actions are extremely important to my business because my staff of 50 people work on the front

line in retail serving hundreds of customers a day in our

stores. They are all eager to be vaccinated so they aren’t

putting themselves at risk each day just by going to work.

I fully support revoking the Muslim ban and rolling back the

other draconian immigration reforms - let’s be civil, humane and smart about the needs of

those less fortunate and those of businesses who rely on skills not

otherwise found here.

- BRYCE HANSEN BELLEVUE, WA

Establishing the pandemic precautions and relief is

so important to our health and the re-establishment of our economy and the many businesses that have been

lost. Going back into the Paris Climate Accord is a step in the right direction for the

preservation of planet earth.

““

- ANGELA POSILLICO BOYNTON BEACH, FL

President Biden’s executive orders were essential to bring America back. The

United States needs to lead to example; I’m relieved to see

the new administration taking our problems seriously and

developing actionable plans to tackle said issues.

These actions represent inclusive versus exclusive values, cooperative and

win/win values. Those are the values the Los Angeles Council of Black Engineers embody. We look forward to working with the new administration towards sustaining those values

throughout the American business community.

from the beginning and remains committed to its

shared objectives.

common cause...

permanent, bipartisan solution in the near future.
