2 years ago, climate policy was mostly a bunch of good ideas in PDFs. 2 years later, we are here. Climate laws & leadership. Against all odds, the Biden-Harris Administration did the most ambitious climate policy in history. The most ambitious climate policy in history…so far

A Venn Diagram with three circles. The first circle is the Inflation Reduction Act, which lowers household energy bills, pulls clean tech to market, and advances environmental justice. The second circle is the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which builds clean tech infrastructure and supply chains, increases climate resilience, and invests in workers. The third circle is the CHIPS and Science Act, which drives equitable clean tech innovation, manufacturing, and regional economic growth. The intersection of the circles says We Are Here.

Cancer deaths in the U.S. have fallen by 33% since 1991. Through President Biden's #CancerMoonshot, we are building on this great progress to end cancer as we know it.

The report showing the U.S. has cut cancer deaths by one-third over the last 30 years is great progress, which we’ve achieved through driving smoking rates down, improving early detection, and delivering better treatments for many cancers. It means millions of American families have been spared the immeasurable loss of a loved one. The report also underscores that there’s more work to do to save more lives. President Biden’s vision for ending cancer as we know it is building on the progress we’ve made with an all-hands-on-deck effort to develop new ways to prevent, detect, and treat cancer – and ensure that the tools we have and those we develop along the way reach all Americans.
