Summary
The Democratic National Convention in Chicago has approved the party platform for 2024. The platform "describes the achievements of the Biden-Harris administration and sets out the policy agenda of the Harris-Walz administration," emphasizes a strong commitment to protecting and expanding women's rights including abortion access, maternal health, pay equity, LGBTQ+ rights, and support for caregivers and veterans. This stands in stark contrast to the Republican platform, which seeks to restrict women's rights. The Democrats aim to address various challenges faced by women and marginalized groups, positioning their agenda as crucial for preserving democracy and equality.
