“BEA applauds President Biden signing an Executive Order to Strengthen Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Across the Federal Government. BEA has worked closely with the Biden-Harris Administration to identify opportunities to reshape federal policies and programs to drive economic mobility in the Black community.

“This Executive Order reflects those shared priorities and is an important step towards dismantling deeply entrenched and pervasive systems that have long held back the Black community. Sustained progress towards economic and racial equity is critical for the economic well-being of our society as a whole.
