Our natural wonders are the heart and soul of our nation.
They unite and inspire us – a birthright we pass down from generation to generation.
That’s why from Day One, we’ve been carrying out the most aggressive conservation and climate agenda ever, anywhere in the world.
Today, I'm building on my Administration's historic climate record by setting an ambitious new goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 60% by 2035.
We're the United States. Together, I know we can do this.
On March 25th, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire ignited a passion inside of Frances Perkins.
She would go on to dedicate her life to lifting the lives of working people – becoming the first woman Cabinet Secretary and longest-serving Secretary of Labor in history.
This week, I was proud to designate the Frances Perkins Homestead in Maine as a national monument.
Yesterday, President Biden signed a proclamation establishing the Frances Perkins National Monument in Newcastle, Maine, to honor the legacy of America’s first woman Cabinet Secretary and the longest-serving Secretary of Labor.
Today @POTUS designated the Frances Perkins National Monument, which honors our nation’s longest-serving Secretary of Labor. This designation reflects our Administration’s commitment to uplift women’s history, stand with labor & strengthen our workforce. https://t.co/mzQJEkdRff
Today is the 50th anniversary of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Under @POTUS & @VP’s leadership, we’ve made progress toward fully realizing its vision with historic investments to replace lead pipes, improve water infrastructure, tackle PFAS pollution and conserve freshwater.
Today, President Biden established the Carlisle Federal Indian Boarding School National Monument.
This new monument will tell the story of the oppression endured by thousands of Native children and commemorate the resilience of Tribes and Indigenous communities.
By identifying next steps & best practices for federal agencies to support community-driven relocation, we can bridge the gap between at-risk Tribes & communities seeking assistance and the resources available across the federal government to support them for generations to come.
.@POTUS and @VP have made historic investments to help communities facing catastrophic climate impacts, and this announcement will continue to help those in need to access critical resources if they determine relocating is their only option. https://t.co/vIJXAA6Z3j
At today's White House Tribal Nations Summit, @POTUS designated the Carlisle Federal Indian Boarding School National Monument. This monument acknowledges the Federal Indian boarding school era, advances healing & commemorates the resilience of Tribal Nations & Indigenous Peoples.
Three years ago, we announced the Federal Sustainability Plan to reestablish sustainability leadership. Under @POTUS & @VP’s leadership, we’ve delivered historic progress toward making federal government operations cleaner & more efficient. https://t.co/WzkwvhkTXX
Thanks to historic investments from the President’s Investing in America agenda, these projects in communities across the nation will help ensure everyone can access the benefits nature has to offer for years to come.
The America the Beautiful Challenge is advancing @POTUS's ongoing commitment to conserve our lands and waters by supporting locally led conservation and restoration projects in communities across the country. https://t.co/85tpyQF5t7
