COVID-19 Bias and Anti-Racism Training Act
U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) announced a new bill, the COVID-19 Bias and Anti-Racism Training Act, intended to address inequities in our health care system. This $200 million initiative supports bias and anti-racism training for health care providers and others involved in COVID-19 testing, treatment and vaccine distribution. This legislation also promotes accountability to ensure people of color receive equal access to quality health care. Representative Alma S. Adams (D0NC-12) will introduce companion in the House of Representatives.
