We have delivered the most equitable economic recovery in memory, and, driven by the expanded Child Tax Credit, we cut child poverty to its lowest rate on record in 2021, including record low Black, Latino, Native American, and rural child poverty. My Administration’s commitment to equity has produced better decision-making and more equitable outcomes. Our work to transform the way the Federal Government serves the American people has been complemented by Executive Order 14035 of J(Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce), which continues to help ensure that my Administration - the most diverse in our Nation’s history - reflects the growing diversity of the communities we serve. In short, my Administration has embedded a focus on equity into the fabric of Federal policymaking and service delivery. They have made important progress incorporating an evidence-based approach to equitable policymaking and implementation, and they have crafted new action plans to advance equity. Executive departments and agencies (agencies) have engaged in historic work assessing how their policies and programs perpetuate barriers for underserved communities and developing strategies for removing those barriers. Over the past 2 years, through landmark legislation - including the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117‑2) the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58) (Bipartisan Infrastructure Law) division A of Public Law 117-167, known as the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) Act of 2022 Public Law 117-169, commonly referred to as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (Public Law 117-159) - as well as executive action, my Administration has vigorously championed racial equity and has advanced equal opportunity for underserved communities. We can also deliver resources and benefits equitably to the people of the United States and rebuild trust in Government. On my first day in office, I signed Executive Order 13985 of Janu(Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government), which charged the Federal Government with advancing equity for all, including communities that have long been underserved, and addressing systemic racism in our Nation’s policies and programs.By advancing equity, the Federal Government can support and empower all Americans, including the many communities in America that have been underserved, discriminated against, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality.
