Democrats Release Lengthy LGBTQ Rights Platform

Via press release from the Democratic Party:

Today, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) released the final 2024 Democratic Party Platform, which will be voted on by delegates at the Convention tomorrow evening.

This platform was passed by the Platform Committee on July 16, prior to the President stepping aside. It makes a strong statement about the historic work that President Biden and Vice President Harris have accomplished hand-in-hand, and offers a vision for a progressive agenda that we can build on as a nation and as a Party as we head into the next four years.

Following extensive engagements from the Platform Committee with communities across the country, hundreds of submissions of testimony through our Written Platform Testimony Portal, and countless conversations with community leaders from coalitions across the Democratic Party, the platform is reflective of the diverse perspectives and unifying values of the Democratic Party. Through this extensive and comprehensive process, the Committee produced a forward-looking vision for our Party.

The Platform focuses on priorities for Democrats up and down the ballot, from growing the economy to lowering costs for families; tackling the climate crisis and securing energy independence; closing the racial wealth gap and investing in small businesses; restoring Roe v. Wade as the law of the land; protecting communities from the scourge of gun violence and protecting freedoms for all Americans; and securing our border and strengthening American leadership worldwide.
