In 2021, Biden signed an executive order to “advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the Federal workforce.”
“Accordingly, the Federal Government must strengthen its ability to recruit, hire, develop, promote, and retain our Nation’s talent and remove barriers to equal opportunity,” the order read. “It must also provide resources and opportunities to strengthen and advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility across the Federal Government”
Biden emphasized his support for DEI initiatives in May, when he declared that diversity, equity, and inclusion are the “core strengths of America.”
