LD 1610 - Racial Justice

(2022)

An Act To Promote Equity in Policy Making by Enhancing the State's Ability To Collect, Analyze and Apply Data

What is the bill?

In order to win big improvements for workers, the labor movement needs to tackle issues that divide us. Wealthy interests have long used racism to divide the working class throughout history. Racism harms union members of color and breaks working class solidarity. This bill makes improvements to how we collect and store data that allows us to address racial disparities and develop laws that benefit all workers in a transparent and accessible manner.
