What we know

This order rescinds dozens of prior executive orders that sought to make progress across the economy, civil rights, health care, climate and more.

Formal Name

Initial Rescission of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions

Status
Underway
Formal Identifier

January 20, 2025

Anticipated Impact

This order rescinds roughly 80 Biden-Harris administration executive orders that sought to improve the lives of millions of people, across issues like expanding access to health care, raising wages, protecting civil rights, and combatting climate change. For example, it eliminates the Task Force that sought to reunify families after Trump's family separation program; programs expanding economic opportunities for Native, Black, and Hispanic people; and an initiative promoting access to voting. Democracy Forward and its partners will continue assessing the impact of each individual rescission.
