That Order emphasized the enormous human costs of systemic racism and persistent poverty, and provided a powerful and unprecedented mandate for all federal agencies to launch a whole-of-government approach to equity. Over the past two years, agencies have taken historic steps toward ensuring that federal programs are serving the American people in an equitable and just manner and supporting communities that have been locked out of opportunity. Through the implementation of landmark legislation and historic executive action, the Biden-Harris Administration is working to make real the promise of America for everyone—including rural communities, communities of color, Tribal communities, LGBTQI+ individuals, people with disabilities, women and girls, and communities impacted by persistent poverty.<br>
<br>
On February 16th, to strengthen the federal government’s ability to address the barriers that underserved communities continue to face, President Biden signed a new Executive Order, <em><a href="https://whitehouse.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b999ee4d97253671de1a2d1fa&id=a34d7adc63&e=426bd210a6" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government</a></em>.
