RICHMOND, VA; October 31, 2024 – Do No Harm released a report detailing how the Biden-Harris administration infused discriminatory DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) practices and policies into the federal government. 

The report, Equity Everywhere: 500 Ways the Biden-Harris Administration Infused DEI Into the Federal Government, reveals that over 80 federal entities submitted “Equity Action Plans” which resulted in over 500 active or planned federal DEI actions.

These included 36 actions directly related to medicine and healthcare policy.

The comprehensive analysis found that a wide array of entities across the federal government were involved in pushing DEI, including well-established agencies such as the HHS, the Treasury Department, and the Department of Energy, as well as lesser-known entities like the Marine Mammal Commission and the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Do No Harm organized the agencies into 10 categories: Health; Security; Foreign Affairs; Law; Transportation; Preservation; Federal-State Partnerships; Science and Nature; and Finance, Labor, and Commerce. Do No Harm then split up the areas in which federal agencies advanced DEI into several categories: research and data; labor market transformation; procurement and contracts; outreach; training; and other avenues. 

“Discrimination has no place in our society and certainly not in our federal government,” said Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, Chairman of Do No Harm. “This report documents hundreds of examples of harmful identity politics leading to government programs that treat people differently based on their race or sexual orientation. It is alarming that these programs, including initiatives that determine how the government regulates medicine and cares for our veterans, not only were implemented but encouraged and celebrated.”

“Though it’s no surprise activists and politicians have pushed this corrosive ideology, that DEI has permeated our institutions of power to such a degree in less than four years reminds us why it is so important to stand up for merit and equality, not equity and division,” Dr. Goldfarb said. “The same government that is charged with protecting the American people from discrimination cannot also perpetuate it. Our leaders must root this out and return to our founding principles.”
