Support Diversity and Inclusion Within the U.S. State Department
Please join us in asking lawmakers in the House of Representatives to strengthen diversity, equity and inclusion in the U.S. State Department.
The Diversity and Inclusion at the Department of State Act (H.R. 4589) was introduced last July by Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX). The legislation would create a senior level position of Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer to advocate for diversity within the State Department. A Leadership Council would be established and accountable for implementing diversity and inclusion initiatives. H.R. 4589 also changes promotion practices to improve retention and fairness, and creates a mentoring program within the agency. Read more here.
This action allows you to edit and personalize your message. Please urge your Representative to become a co-sponsor of H.R. 4589. If your Rep. is already a co-sponsor, thank them for their support and leadership.
