Racial equity in government policy remains a priority of Biden presidency

The Biden Administration is working to ensure racial equity priorities are embedded into all levels of the federal government as it enters its second year, a White House official said recently.

The administration’s commitment is part of “a truly historical agenda” that began on Biden’s first day in office when he signed an executive order to advance racial equity and support underserved communities, said Chiraag Gains, deputy assistant to the president and deputy director of the Domestic Policy Council for Racial Justice and Equity at the White House.
