Liz Bloom

Liz Bloom serves as the director for equality and opportunity at the White House Domestic Policy Council. With a strong focus on countering anti-Semitism and advancing LGBTQ+ causes, Bloom has been at the forefront of civil rights work. Driven by the belief that combating any form of hate makes society better for everyone, Bloom is a leader on implementing the president’s national strategy to counter anti-Semitism.

Bloom’s efforts have made a massive impact — from protecting same-sex marriage and overturning discriminatory policies to ensuring LGBTQ+ rights in health care and education. She previously served as a speechwriter for figures including Ambassador Susan Rice and Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler. With a background in journalism and a joint MBA/MPP from Harvard, Bloom brings a strong skill set to her mission of creating a more inclusive world.

“We continue to fight to advance equality every day in this administration, and we’re also focused on ensuring that this president’s incredible accomplishments for LGBTQI+ people endure for generations to come,” she says. “No president has done more to advance LGBTQI+ equality than Joe Biden. It’s a testament to President Biden’s and Vice President Harris’s leadership and the incredible team they’ve assembled — the most diverse administration in American history.”
