| Right after giving his inaugural speech, President Joe Biden began signing executive orders. |
In the week since he was inaugurated, President Joe Biden and his staff have begun to turn the country around by first, undoing some of the immoral and irrational, racist orders that came out of the Donald Trump years; and next, going beyond what is expected to aggressively respond to some of the troubling issues facing AAPI and the United States.
The openness and transparency of the Biden administration is a stark contrast and a breath of fresh air compared to the preceding administration.
In addition to having the President's speeches, executive orders and presidential memos online, the White House is also providing transcripts or content of the phone calls to foreign leaders, unlike Trump's secretive calls to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
For the convenience of those who don't like spending hours searching the Internet, here are some of the links to those orders that affect Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and are available to the public:
Executive Order on Ensuring an Equitable Pandemic Response and Recovery
Proclamation on Ending Discriminatory Bans on Entry to The United States
Proclamation on the Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Non-Immigrants of Certain Additional Persons Who Pose a Risk of Transmitting Coronavirus Disease
