INSTITUTE FOR SCIENCE AND HUMAN VALUES, INC

Religion

We write today to urge you to reject calls to weaken the executive order by providing a special exemption for religiously affiliated contractors. Furthermore, we ask that you take this opportunity to rescind Executive Order 13279s amendment of Executive Order 11246, which exempted religious organizations that contract with the government from the prohibition against employment discrimination on the basis of religion. We urge your office to quickly ensure that committed, loving couples who were legally married in the states of Arkansas, Indiana, and Wisconsin have their marriages respected by the federal government.

Health Issues

In contemplating the expansion of administrative relief, we urge policy reforms that rescind current barriers to affordable health coverage and care for those granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Moreover, we call on the administration to ensure any future administrative relief program treats all persons eligible for relief and work authorization as lawfully present for all purposes, including for the purposes of eligibility for public and affordable health coverage programs.
