(CNN) Beto O'Rourke would undo President Donald Trump's ban on transgender troops and reinstate former President Barack Obama's anti-discrimination policies in the military, schools and health care under an LGBTQ plan his campaign unveiled Wednesday.

The former Texas congressman and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate is proposing a series of executive and legislative steps that also aim to make prisons and detention facilities safer for transgender people, particularly transgender women of color.

O'Rourke's plan would require health insurers, including government-run programs, to cover transition-related care and would seek to lower the costs of HIV prevention drugs.

He is also pledging to appoint judges and administration officials -- including openly LGBTQ selections -- "who have a demonstrated record of supporting the full civil rights of every single person."

The plan comes as O'Rourke is set to lead a two-mile run celebrating Pride month in New York City on Wednesday morning, from Rockefeller Park to the LGBT Memorial site in Greenwich Village. O'Rourke and his wife Amy also ran in the Pride Fest Fun Run 5K in Des Moines, Iowa, on Saturday.
