Advancing equity in government services is a major priority for the Biden administration, but to see real results, there must be effective action, according to Michael McAfee, president and chief executive officer of the nonprofit PolicyLink.
- McAfee said the Biden administration is prioritizing diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility but that more work is needed.
- He said almost one in three people is economically insecure despite progress the United States has made.
- McAfee said the government must ensure agencies understand the country’s origin story to grasp the full extent of the problem, reduce bureaucracy and bring in leaders who are well-versed in equity.
