The House has passed the "Racial and Economic Equity Act," a bill sponsored by Maxine Waters that would amend the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The bill seeks to expand the Fed's mandate to include the elimination of racial and ethnic disparities in employment, income, and credit access. Critics argue this would saddle the central bank with social justice responsibilities, potentially setting the stage for a central bank digital currency.

Civil rights leader Bob Woodson explains the distinction between "equity" and "equality," arguing that equity focuses on equal outcomes rather than equal opportunity. President Biden has increasingly used "equity" in his executive orders and speeches. Critics argue this shift in language is a "trick" to implement quotas that benefit elites while ignoring the needs of those at the bottom of the economic ladder.

Aisha Clark described climate change as an "intersectional issue" that encompasses economic justice, racial justice, and women's rights.
