President BidenPolitics

Since U.S. President Biden took office on January 21, he has taken a number of actions related to the focus areas of the AMSSND province. Here are some of the highlights (click here for a full list):

•    Climate—the U.S. has rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement!
•    Racism—Executive order to affirmatively advance equity, civil rights, racial justice, and equal opportunity 
•    Immigration—Muslim ban lifted, DACA preserved and fortified, border wall construction halted

Let us continue to pray for wisdom and courage for all our elected officials as they work to uphold the common good in a way that heeds “both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.”
