The Biden-Harris Administration must act swiftly to develop a bold coordinated multi-sectoral, evidence-based strategy, programs, and funding mechanisms to address the drivers of violent conflict and extremism, build trust in democratic institutions at the local, state, and national levels and prevent and reduce violent conflict by:

  • Immediately Elevating and Strengthening the U.S. Government’s Domestic Policy Structures

  • Promoting U.S. Democracy Initiatives

  • Preventing Violent Extremism

  • Building Social Cohesion

  • Enacting Inclusive Policy and Legal Reform Packages to Address Grievances and Causes of Conflict and Violence

  • Reallocating Funding Priorities
