White House Announces National Strategy to Combat Islamophobia

The White House has announced that President Biden and Vice President Harris will develop the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia, as part of their efforts to combat hate and discrimination. The strategy will be a joint effort led by the Domestic Policy Council and the National Security Council, and aims to address the disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks and discriminatory incidents faced by Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim in America. This announcement follows President Biden's directive last year to establish an interagency group to counter Islamophobia, Antisemitism, and related forms of bias and discrimination within the United States.
