The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently unveiled its [equity action plan.](https://www.eeoc.gov/equity-action-plan-accordance-executive-order-13985-advancing-racial-equity-and-support-underserved) The plan aims to improve outreach and access to underserviced communities and combat systemic racial discrimination.

The equity plan has goals to:

- Improve access to the EEOC’s charge filing process for those workers who have limited digital resources or live in rural areas
- Engage with more employers, researchers, and worker and civil rights organizations to support diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and equity
- Improving access to EEOC’s resources for people whose primary language is not English, or those with limited digital or reading proficiency
- Continue to develop EEOC’s data collection to support enforcement and empower people to exercise their civil rights

The EEOC’s plan is in accordance with President Biden’s [executive order](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/01/20/executive-order-advancing-racial-equity-and-support-for-underserved-communities-through-the-federal-government/) to advance racial equity and provide support for underserved communities. Each federal agency is required to develop a plan to address barriers in programs and policies.
