Democrats Push for State Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

November 30th, 2021 by Jake Stofan

Florida Democrats are hoping to make the state more equitable by promoting legislation that would establish an Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

The office would be tasked with drafting legislation to address racial inequities in the state, make budget recommendations to the Governor’s Office to support equity and identify laws that have disparate racial impacts.

Senate sponsor Lori Berman said Florida should follow the numerous companies, universities and states that have created similar offices.

“We have a tremendous opportunity here to follow the lead of other states and our business and academic communities and leverage diversity as our strength. We can promote changes that increase equity and make government truly representative of the people,” said Berman.

The legislation was officially filed at the start of October, but has so far not been slated for any committee hearings in either chamber.
