After a contentious race where volunteer poll workers and vote defenders across the United States showed up en masse to protect communities right to vote, citizens in the United States have elected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as their president and vice-president. For many, their victory represents a sign of hope in repairing the damage the past four years have inflicted upon vulnerable communities nationally and abroad. However, for communities experiencing criminalization, incarceration, deportation, and displacement, the sigh of relief is limited.

This policy report contextualizes and analyzes each of the points delineated in the Biden-Harris plan for Central America.
