FACT SHEET: The Biden-Harris Administration’s Abiding Commitment to Democratic Renewal at Home and Abroad
HOME
BRIEFING ROOM
STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
President Biden has called the struggle to bolster democratic governance at home and abroad the defining challenge of our time. That is because democracy—transparent and accountable government of, for, and by the people—remains the best way to realize lasting peace, prosperity, and human dignity.
Internationally, the United States continues to strengthen democratic resilience and respect for human rights through both new and existing initiatives. In Fiscal Years 2022, 2023, and 2024, the United States has invested and aims to provide approximately $9.5 billion, working with Congress and subject to the availability of appropriations, to support democracy, human rights, and good governance globally.
At the first Summit for Democracy held in December 2021, President Biden launched the Presidential Initiative for Democratic Renewal, an expansion of U.S. Government efforts to defend and grow democratic resilience with likeminded partners through diplomacy and foreign assistance. These efforts center on five areas of work crucial to the functioning of transparent, accountable governance: advancing technology for democracy, supporting free and independent media, fighting corruption, bolstering human rights and democratic reformers, and defending free and fair elections.
Today, the United States is announcingup to $690 million in new funding for the Presidential Initiative for Democratic Renewal through Fiscal Year 2024, working with Congress and subject to the availability of appropriations. As part of the Presidential Initiative, the U.S. Government is also announcing a groundbreaking new suite of policy initiatives intended to advance technology that works for, and not against, democratic societies.
At home, the Biden-Harris Administration has produced historic progress for the American people, proving that democracy delivers a stronger, fairer society that leaves no one behind. Under President Biden’s leadership, the economy has added more than 12 million jobs. The unemployment rate has fallen to 3.6 percent.. The Biden-Harris Administration has taken action to give families more breathing room, including cutting prescription drug costs, health insurance premiums, and energy bills, while driving the uninsured rate to historic lows. It has invested in rebuilding America’s infrastructure, delivering safe roads, clean water, and high-speed Internet to communities across the country. And it is taking the most aggressive action ever to tackle the climate crisis, investing in American innovation and industries that will define the future, and fueling a manufacturing boom that is creating good jobs for workers in parts of the country that have long been left behind. At the same time, the Biden-Harris Administration has continued to restore and strengthen the United States’ democratic institutions, including by protecting the right to vote and the civil rights of all Americans.
Advancing Technology for Democracy at Home and Abroad
The U.S. Government is committed to advancing a positive vision for the Internet and the digital ecosystem; countering the misuse of technology and stemming the tide of digital authoritarianism; and shaping emerging technologies to ensure respect for human rights and democratic principles. At the Summit, the Administration will announce an ambitious slate of new efforts to ensure that technology strengthens democracy.
Promoting Democratic Renewal Abroad
Supporting Free and Independent Media. To help mitigate the existential threat to the survival of independent media, USAID via its Media Viability Accelerator is partnering with Microsoft and Internews to create a new, web-based data platform that will enable media outlets to better understand the markets, audiences, and strategies that will maximize their odds of profitability. Additionally, USAID will provide up to $16 million for the Promoting Information Integrity and Resilience Initiative (ProInfo), which will strengthen information integrity globally by advancing international cooperation and private-public-civic partnerships.
Fighting Corruption. In complement to the ongoing work at the U.S. Department of the Treasury to unmask shell companies by requiring them to report information about their beneficial owners, today the U.S. government and over two dozen foreign partners announced the Summit for Democracy Commitment on Beneficial Ownership and Misuse of Legal Persons. The Beneficial Ownership Commitment pledges endorsees to enhancing beneficial ownership transparency so as to make it more difficult for corrupt actors to conceal their identities, assets, and criminal activities through the misuse of opaque corporate structures and legal persons.
Bolstering Human Rights and Democratic Reformers.
Through the Partnerships for Democratic Development and the Democracy Delivers Initiative, USAID is surging support to countries experiencing democratic breakthroughs by helping reformist leaders show that democracy is delivering concrete benefits to their people. Since the first Summit for Democracy, the Development Finance Corporation has committed more than $1 billion to help consolidate democratic progress in eight countries on which USAID is focusing the latter effort.
USAID is creating a first-ever Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance to expand and modernize its support for democracy around the world, implement much of the Presidential Initiative, and further infuse democracy, human rights, and good governance considerations across the Agency’s foreign policy and development work.
In coordination with the Department of State, the Department of Defense is piloting a program to reduce gaps for women’s participation in partner nation defense and security forces by better incorporating this imperative into security cooperation with its partners.
Defending Free and Fair Elections. Following a commitment made at the first Summit for Democracy, USAID has convened the world’s leading election assistance organizations in the Global Network for Securing Election Integrity, to align on standards and practices for supporting clean elections. It is also issuing a Guide to USAID Electoral Assistance for the 21st Century to highlight the tenets of transparent, politically neutral, technically rigorous electoral assistance, in contrast to the covert and partisan electoral interference of malign foreign actors.
Advancing Democratic Renewal at Home
Protecting the Right to Vote in Free, Fair, and Secure Elections.
President Biden has repeatedly and forcefully called on Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act to eliminate discrimination in voting and ensure access to the ballot box for all eligible voters. Until that critical legislation is secured, the Biden-Harris Administration will use every tool at its disposal to protect the right to vote. The Department of Justice has doubled the number of staff dedicated to enforcing voting rights laws, and the President’s FY 2024 Budget provides an increase of $62 million to further strengthen the Department’s Civil Rights Division. The Budget also includes $5 billion to help state and local jurisdictions strengthen our election infrastructure by supporting sustained investment in election equipment, systems, and personnel. Agencies continue to implement the President’s Executive Order directing an all-of-government effort to promote access to voting.
In January 2023, President Biden signed into law the Electoral Count Reform Act, which establishes clear guidelines for our system of certifying and counting electoral votes for President and Vice President. This Act aims to preserve the will of the people and to protect against attempts to overturn our elections, like the attempt that led to the January 6 insurrection.
The Federal Election Commission took a major step to increase transparency in digital campaigning by finalizing a rule expanding the political advertising disclaimer requirements. These requirements previously applied mainly to traditional print and broadcast; this rule explicitly addresses ads placed for a fee on another person’s website, digital device, application, or advertising platform. Effective March 1, digital political ads must now disclose the entity paying for them.
Advancing Equity and Racial Justice and Protecting the Rights of All Americans.
Through the implementation of landmark legislation and historic executive action, the Biden-Harris Administration is working to make real the promise of America for everyone—including rural communities, communities of color, Tribal communities, LGBTQI+ individuals, people with disabilities, women and girls, and communities impacted by persistent poverty. To strengthen the federal government’s equity mandate, in February, President Biden signed a second Executive Order further advancing racial equity and support for underserved communities through the federal government. This Executive Order launches a new annual, government-wide process to address the barriers underserved communities face in benefitting from Federal policies, programs, and activities. It also requires agencies to improve their community engagement and seek more input from communities about the policies that impact them. Consistent with this charge, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) is developing new tools and guidance to broaden public engagement in the regulatory process.
In a healthy democracy, the criminal justice system must protect the public and ensure fair and impartial justice for all. To advance these mutually reinforcing goals, President Biden urges Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to advance accountability, transparency, and public trust in law enforcement. In May 2022, the President issued an Executive Order on effective and accountable policing and criminal justice practices that, among other things, requires federal law enforcement agencies to ban chokeholds; restrict no-knock warrants; mandate the use of body-worn cameras; provide de-escalation training; submit officer misconduct records into a new national database; and restrict the transfer of military equipment to local law enforcement agencies. The President’s Executive Order also established a new interagency Alternatives and Reentry Committee to safely reduce unnecessary criminal justice system interactions, improve rehabilitation, and support formerly incarcerated individuals’ successful reentry into society while addressing existing disparities in our Nation’s criminal justice systems.
In September, President Biden held the United We Stand Summit, the first-ever White House Summit to address the hate-fueled violence that threatens our public safety and democracy. At the Summit, the White House announced an historic package of new actions the federal government and all sectors of society will take to foster national unity and counter hate and toxic polarization. The President also established an interagency group to increase and better coordinate U.S. Government efforts to counter antisemitism, Islamophobia, and related forms of bias and discrimination within the United States—the group’s first order of business is to develop a national strategy to counter antisemitism. The President has also taken historic action to reduce gun violence, including by signing into law the most significant gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years and taking more executive action to reduce gun violence that any other president at this point in the presidency.
President Biden has taken historic actions to advance full equality for LGBTQI+ Americans. The President championed and signed into law the Respect for Marriage Act, safeguarding marriage equality for LGBTQI+ and interracial couples. The President has expanded rights and protections for transgender Americans. He has also worked to advance opportunity and dignity for LGBTQI+ children and families by: taking on the discredited practice of so-called “conversion therapy;” strengthening resources and protecting for LGBTQI+ children in America’s public schools; and improving the federal government’s collection of data related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
Ensuring all people—regardless of their gender—are able to participate fully and equally in civic and political life is a foundational tenet of stable democracies. The Biden-Harris Administration is implementing the National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality, including making progress towards ensuring all people can live free from violence by signing into law the strengthened and reauthorized Violence Against Women Act and historic military justice reform. The President has also advanced protections and equity in the workplace, including through Executive Orders to advance pay equity for federal employees and employees of federal contractors, and by signing into law important protections for pregnant and nursing workers. The President has issued two Executive Orders and a Presidential Memorandum to protect access to reproductive health care services, including abortion, in the face of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs, and to defend a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body.
President Biden has prioritized relationships with Tribal Nations that are built on respect for Tribal sovereignty and self-governance, honoring federal trust and treaty responsibilities, protecting Tribal homelands, and conducting regular, meaningful, and robust consultation. The President’s economic agenda includes historic levels of funding specifically for Tribal communities and Native people, including $32 billion in the American Rescue Plan (ARP), $13 billion in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), and $700 million in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Bolstering Democratic Institutions, Promoting Civic Participation, and Improving Public Engagement with Government.
The Administration is leveraging the power of national service and volunteerism to bring together Americans from different backgrounds to serve their communities and country in common purpose. The President’s FY 2024 Budget includes a $166 million increase for AmeriCorps to raise the living allowance it provides its members to make national service more accessible.
President Biden believes that all Americans should have the opportunity to learn about our democratic process and our nation’s rich history—including both our triumphs and the times we have failed to live up to our founding ideals. The 2023 omnibus appropriations package tripled federal investment in civics education, and President Biden is building on this progress by including an additional $50 million to help students understand the U.S. Constitution and how our system of Government works and build the skills—including media and digital literacy skills—required to fully participate in civic life.
A free and independent press is critical to our democracy. In October 2022, Attorney General Garland announced significant revisions to the Justice Department’s regulations regarding obtaining information from, or records of, members of the news media. Under the new rules, only in extremely narrow circumstances will DOJ use compulsory legal process—like subpoenas and search warrants—when investigating media acting within the scope of newsgathering. The President’s FY 2024 Budget committed to working with the Congress to support independent local journalism to better inform Americans about the matters that impact their lives and hold the powerful accountable.
Strong and independent unions are an essential bulwark of democracies: They build solidarity across race, gender and other lines of difference to advance their members’ shared interests, elect leadership from their own ranks to give workers a voice, and serve as counter-weights to the economic and political power of Wall Street and large corporations. Earlier this month, the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment released an update detailing agencies’ progress towards implementing more than 70 action items to support worker organizing and collective bargaining.
In December 2022, the Biden-Harris Administration released the U.S. Government’s Fifth Open Government National Action Plan to advance a more inclusive, responsive, and accountable government. The plan includes commitments to increase the public’s access to data to better advance equity, engage the public in the regulatory process, make government records more accessible to the public, counter corruption, and improve the delivery of government services and benefits.

简报：拜登-哈里斯政府对国内外民主复兴的坚定承诺
白宫
华盛顿特区
2023年3月29日
拜登总统指出加强国内外民主治理的斗争是我们这个时代特有的重大挑战。这是因为民主——一个透明和负责任的民有、民享、民治政府——仍然是实现持久和平、繁荣和人类尊严的最佳途径。
在国际上，美国继续通过新出台的和已出台的举措加强民主韧性和尊重人权。在2022、2023和2024财政年度，美国与国会合作并根据拨款资金情况，投资并计划提供约95亿美元，来支持全球民主、人权和善政。
在2021年12月举行的首届民主峰会上，拜登总统启动了“总统民主复兴倡议” （Presidential Initiative for Democratic Renewal），扩展了美国政府与志同道合的合作伙伴通过外交和对外援助来捍卫和增强民主韧性的工作。这些努力集中在对透明、负责任的治理运作至关重要的五个工作领域：为民主推动科技、支持自由和独立的媒体、打击腐败、支持人权和民主改革人士以及捍卫自由公正的选举。
今天，美国宣布与国会合作并视拨款资金情况，在2024财年期间为“总统民主复兴倡议”提供高达6.9亿美元的新资金。作为总统倡议的一部分，美国政府还宣布了一套开创性的新政策举措，旨在推进有利于而非反对民主社会的技术。
在国内，拜登-哈里斯政府为美国人民带来了历史性进步，证明民主能够产生一个更为强大、公平的社会，不会让任何人落单掉队。在拜登总统的领导下，美国经济已经新增了1200多万个就业岗位。失业率已经降至3.6%。拜登-哈里斯政府采取行动，给家庭提供更多喘息空间，包括削减处方药费用、健康保险费用和能源费用，同时将无保险率降至历史最低水平。政府投资于重建美国的基础设施，为全国各地的社区提供安全道路、清洁用水和高速互联网。政府正在采取有史以来最积极的行动来应对气候危机，投资于将决定未来的美国创新和产业，并推动制造业的繁荣，为长期以来被落下地区的工人创造良好的就业机会。同时，拜登-哈里斯政府继续恢复和加强美国的民主体制，包括保护所有美国人的选举权和公民权利。
推进国内外的民主科技的发展
• 美国政府致力于推进实现互联网和数字生态系统的积极愿景，打击滥用技术和数字专制主义的蔓延，并打造新兴技术以确保尊重人权和民主原则。在峰会上，美国政府将宣布一系列雄心勃勃的新举措，以确保通过科技增强民主。
促进国外的民主复兴
• 支持自由和独立媒体。为了帮助减轻对独立媒体生存的威胁，美国国际发展署（简称USAID）通过其“媒体生存能力加速器”（Media Viability Accelerator）与微软以及Internews合作，创建一个新的基于网络的数据平台，使媒体机构能够更好地了解市场、受众和战略，从而最大限度地提高其盈利能力。此外，USAID将提供高达1600万美元的资金，用于“促进信息完整性和韧性（ProInfo）”的举措。这一举措将通过推进国际合作，以及私营-公共-公民社会合作伙伴关系来加强全球信息诚信度。
• 打击腐败。作为对美国财政部正在实施的通过要求空壳公司报告其实际所有人信息来揭开其真实面目工作的补充，今天美国政府和二十多个外国合作伙伴宣布了《民主峰会关于法人受益所有权和滥用问题的承诺》（Summit for Democracy Commitment on Beneficial Ownership and Misuse of Legal Persons）。“受益所有权承诺”的支持者承诺提高受益所有权的透明度，从而使腐败分子更难通过滥用不透明公司结构和法人来掩盖其身份、资产和犯罪活动。
• 支持人权和民主改革人士。
o 通过“民主发展伙伴关系”（Partnerships for Democratic Development）和“民主实效倡议”（Democracy Delivers Initiative），USAID正加大对即将经历民主突破的国家的支持力度，帮助改革派领导人表明民主正在给其人民带来具体惠益。自第一次民主峰会以来，美国发展金融公司（Development Finance Corporation）已承诺提供10多亿美元的资金，以帮助巩固八个国家的民主进步，USAID将这些国家作为其工作重点。
o USAID正在创建一个前所未有的首个民主、人权和治理局（Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance），以扩大其在全球支持民主的工作并使其现代化，实施总统倡议的大部分举措，并进一步将民主、人权和善政的要因纳入该机构的对外政策和发展工作。
o 国防部与国务院协调试行一项计划，以缩小妇女参与合作伙伴国的国防和安全部队的差距，将这一至关重要的工作更好地纳入与其伙伴的安全合作中。
• 捍卫自由和公平的选举。根据在第一届民主峰会上所作的承诺，USAID在确保选举诚信全球网络中召集了世界领军的选举协助组织，成立了全球选举诚信保障网络(Global Network for Securing Election Integrity)，以统一支持公正选举的标准和实践。USAID还发布了《21世纪美国国际发展署选举协助指南》（Guide to USAID Electoral Assistance for the 21st Century），强调透明、政治中立、技术严格的选举协助的原则，与外国恶意行为者秘密的及党派性的选举干预形成鲜明对比。
促进在国内振兴民主
• 保护在自由、公正和安全的选举中投票的权利。
o拜登总统反复和有力地要求国会通过《约翰·刘易斯投票权利促进法案》（John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act）和《投票自由法案》（Freedom to Vote Act），以消除投票中的歧视，并且确保所有合格选民有机会投票。在实现这项重要立法之前，拜登-哈里斯政府将以其可以采用的一切方式保护投票权利。司法部已将维护投票权利的执法人数加倍，总统2024年的财政年度预算增加了旨在进一步加强司法部民权司的6200万美元。预算还包括帮助州和地方政府加强选举基础设施的50亿美元，用于支持对选举设备、系统以及人员的持续投资。政府机构继续贯彻总统发出的要求全政府为促进投票机会而努力的行政命令（Executive Order）。
o 2023年1月，拜登总统将《选举计票改革法案》（Electoral Count Reform Act）签署生效。这项法律针对我们的总统和副总统大选验证和点票系统制定出明确的指导方针，旨在维护人民的意愿和防止像导致1月6日暴乱的那种推翻选举结果的企图。
o 联邦选举委员会正式规定扩大对政治广告免责声明的要求，从而向提高数字竞选活动透明度迈出了重要一步。这些要求以前主要用于传统的印刷和广播媒介；这一规定则明确针对出资在他人的网站、数字装置、应用程序或广告平台上安插的广告。自3月1日起，现在数字政治广告必须披露为其出资的实体。
• 推进公平和种族公正并保护所有美国人的权利。
o 通过落实具有里程碑意义的立法和具有历史意义的行政行动，拜登-哈里斯政府在努力实现美国对所有人的承诺——包括农村社区、有色人种社区、部落社区、LGBTQI+个人、残疾人、妇女和女童，以及受持续贫困影响的社区。为加强联邦政府的公平职责，拜登总统于2月签署了第二项行政命令，通过联邦政府进一步推进种族平等和对缺少服务的社区的支持。该行政命令启动了一个新的政府范围内一年一度的程序，解决服务不足的社区在得到联邦政策、计划和活动提供的福利时所面临的障碍。它还要求各机构提高社区参与度，并就给社区带来影响的政策更多地征求社区的意见。基于这项责任，信息和监管事务办公室（Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs，OIRA) 正在开发新的工具和指南，扩大公众对监管程序的参与。
o 在健康的民主社会，刑事司法系统必须保护公众，并确保公平和公正地为所有人伸张正义。为推进这些相辅相成的目标，拜登总统敦促国会通过《乔治·弗洛伊德治安公正法案》（George Floyd Justice in Policing Act），以促进执法问责、透明和公信度。2022年5月，总统发布了一项关于有效和负责任的治安和刑事司法方式的行政命令（Executive Order），内容之一是，要求联邦执法机构禁止掐喉；限制不敲门搜捕；强制使用随身佩戴的摄像头；提供缓解局势培训；将警员的不当行为记录纳入新的全国数据库；限制向地方执法机构转让军事装备。总统的行政命令还设立了一个新的跨机构的替代方案和重返社会委员会（Alternatives and Reentry Committee），旨在安全地减少不必要的刑事司法系统互动，增进人员改造工作，并为使过去的在押人员成功重返社会提供支持，同时解决我们国家刑事司法系统中现存的差异。
o 9 月，拜登总统举行了“我们团结一致峰会”（United We Stand Summit），这是白宫有史以来第一次举行这样的峰会，旨在解决受仇恨煽动的对我们的公共安全和民主构成威胁的暴力问题。在峰会上，白宫宣布了一项历史性的一揽子新行动，通过由联邦政府和社会各界采取这些行动，促进国家团结，抵制仇恨和恶毒的两极分化。总统还成立了一个跨机构小组，以加强和更好地协调美国政府在美国境内抵制反犹太主义、伊斯兰恐惧症以及相关形式的偏见和歧视——该小组的首项任务是制定一项抵制反犹太主义的国家战略。总统还采取了历史性行动来减少枪支暴力，包括将近30年来最重要的枪支安全立法签署为法律，并为减少枪支暴力采取了比任何其他总统在这个执政阶段都多的行政措施。
o拜登总统采取了历史性行动，促进LGBTQI+美国人的完全平等。总统积极支持《尊重婚姻法案》（Respect for Marriage Act）并将其签署为法律，以保障LGBTQI+和跨种族夫妇的婚姻平等。总统扩大了跨性别美国人的权利和对他们的保护。他还致力于通过以下方式促进LGBTQI+儿童和家庭的机会和尊严：挑战不光彩的所谓“转化疗法”的做法；增强与美国公立学校LGBTQI+儿童相关的资源和保护；改进联邦政府对与性取向和性别认同相关的数据采集。
o确保所有人——无论其性别——都能够全面及平等地参与公民和政治生活是稳定的民主制度的一项基本原则。拜登-哈里斯政府正在实施《性别公平和平等国家战略》（National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality），包括通过将得到增强和重新授权的《防止对妇女施暴法》（Violence Against Women Act）签署为法律以及具有历史意义的军事司法改革，在确保所有人都能免受暴力侵害方面取得进展。总统还推进了工作场所的保护和公平，包括通过行政命令推进联邦雇员和联邦承包商雇员的薪酬公平，以及通过签署对孕期和哺乳期员工的重要保护的法律。面对美国最高法院对多布斯案（Dobbs）的裁决，总统发布了两项行政命令和一份总统备忘录，以保护获得包括堕胎在内的生殖保健服务，并捍卫妇女对自己身体做出决定的权利。
o拜登总统将与部落联盟（Tribal Nations）的关系作为重点要务，这种关系建立在尊重部落主权和自治、履行联邦信托和条约责任、保护部落土地以及进行定期、有意义和积极有力的磋商的基础上。总统的经济议程包括专门为部落社区和原住民提供历史水平的资金，其中包括《美国救济计划》（American Rescue Plan）中的320亿美元、《两党基础设施法》（Bipartisan Infrastructure Law）中的130亿美元以及《通胀削减法案》（Inflation Reduction Act）中的7亿美元。
• 支持民主机制，促进公民参与，并改善公众与政府的接触。
o本届政府正在利用国民服务和志愿服务的力量，将来自不同背景的美国人汇集在一起，为共同的目标服务于他们的社区和国家。总统的2024财年预算包括为美国志愿队（AmeriCorps）增拨1.66亿美元，以提高其为成员提供的生活津贴，使国民服务更加普及。
o拜登总统相信，所有美国人都应该有机会了解我们的民主进程和我们国家丰富的历史——包括我们所取得的胜利以及那些我们未能实现建国理念的时候。2023年的综合拨款计划将用于公民教育的联邦投资增加了两倍，拜登总统正在这一进展的基础上再拨款5000万美元，以帮助学生们了解美国宪法以及我们的政府系统如何运作并培养技能，包括媒体和数字素养技能等全面参与公民生活所需的技能。
o自由和独立的媒体对于我们的民主至关重要。2022年10月，司法部长加兰（Garland）宣布对司法部关于从新闻媒体成员处获取信息或他们的资料记录的规定进行重大修订。根据新规定，只有在极少的情况下，司法部才会在调查从事新闻收集范围内的活动的媒体时使用强制性法律程序——如传票和搜查令。总统的2024财年预算承诺与国会合作，支持独立的地方新闻业，让美国人更好地了解对他们的生活有影响的事项，并追究有权有势者的责任。
o强大而独立的工会是民主制度的重要堡垒：他们构建跨越种族、性别和其他差异界线的团结以促进其成员的共同利益，从他们自己的群体中选出领导层以给予工作者发言权并作为一种制衡华尔街（Wall Street）和大型公司的经济和政治权势的力量。本月早些时候，白宫工人组织和赋权特别工作组（White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment）发布了最新信息，详细介绍了各机构在实施70多项行动项目以支持工人进行组织和集体谈判所取得的进展。
2022年12月，拜登-哈里斯政府发布了美国政府的第五个开放政府国家行动计划（Open Government National Action Plan），以推进一个更具包容性、反应迅速和负责任的政府。该计划包括承诺增加公众获取数据的途径，以便更好地促进公平、让公众参与监管进程、让政府的记录资料更便于公众获取、反腐败以及改善政府服务和福利的提供。
