The @JoeBiden Campaign has released an extremely detailed, diverse, and inclusive agenda on how the Biden Administration will serve the Latino community across the United States — here are some thoughts: https://link.medium.com/Ru7DmI0mG8
. @JoeBiden’s plan puts the issues facing the Latino community front + center — some are obvious as they are important: Education, Jobs, #Immigration.
But what stands out about the Biden plan is his detailed pledge to tackle the challenges that are left out of the conversation.

For example, under his health proposal — @JoeBiden talks about the need to address mental health disparities Latinos face, a topic that is considered taboo across the community.
This is the level of specificity and care we need from our next president.

Yesterday we observed the anniversary of the tragic shooting in the #ElPaso community — a hate crime.
Yet, our current President remained silent on the anniversary of this tragedy.
@JoeBiden would prosecute hate crimes under DOJ and root out the cause of this type of vitriol.

On education, @JoeBiden pledges significant investment in minority serving institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, and HBCU’s.
Such commitment would provide these #highered institutions with the research labs and facilities that can lead to breakthroughs in STEM, etc.

Finally, on #Immigration — we’ve all heard @JoeBiden’s pledge to send to preserve #DACA and send an immigration bill to Congress on DAY 1 of his Admin.
But beyond that — a Biden Admin would explore how to expand DACA and protect the family’s do Dreamers.

Additionally, @JoeBiden’s plan would allow Dreamers to access dederal student aid for #highered, end 287g, undo the Trump Administration’s cruel an inhumane #immigration policies — no family separation, stop the construction of a wall, provide counsel at immigration courts.
There’s just too many details to list here — it’s a long read. But this type of care and attention to top line and underlying issue is impressive. The @JoeBiden plan acknowledges the work and contributions farmworkers and essential workers during this pandemic.
I cannot overstate the importance of having a president who will acknowledge and respect the Latino community.
That’s what we can expect from @JoeBiden, a partner who works for and alongside us.
I look forward to seeing these initiative come to life - https://medium.com/@JoeBiden/the-biden-agenda-for-the-latino-community-4d7329c2644b
