The Biden-Harris Administration has released the National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy, aiming to accelerate the deployment of zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle charging and hydrogen fueling infrastructure from 2024 to 2040. This strategy, developed in collaboration with the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency, seeks to improve air quality in communities impacted by diesel emissions and align with the goal of promoting at least 30 percent zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales by 2030 and 100 percent by 2040. The Federal Highway Administration has also designated National Electric Vehicle Freight Corridors to support the development of a national EV charging network, with a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting clean commerce within the freight community.

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.

Controversy Erupts Over Biden's Plan to Combat Antisemitism and Target Conservatives.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) dismissed President Biden's national strategy for combating antisemitism as an attack on conservatives. Boebert's comments were criticized by detractors who accused her of conflating a campaign against antisemitism with an assault on the right. Biden's plan outlines steps that Congress, state and local governments, tech companies, faith leaders, and others can take to combat antisemitism. The Anti-Defamation League counted 3,697 antisemitic incidents last year, a 36 percent increase from the previous year and the highest figure since it began keeping records in 1979.
