As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, the US Department of Agriculture has clarifying in writing that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics in federally funded programs and activities. This includes certain forms of antisemitic, Islamophobic, and related discrimination and bias. Thus, these protections are wide-ranging and provide important tools to prevent and curb discrimination.The U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism represents the most comprehensive and ambitious U.S. government effort to counter antisemitism in American history. View the complete strategy and commitments.

“This is another important step in USDA’s effort to make our programs accessible and inclusive for everyone who wants to participate in agriculture or who stands to benefit from our vast portfolio of programs, which range from farm lending to rural housing support to nutrition security initiatives and more,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “President Biden has been clear: there is no room in our democracy for discrimination or bias, and as the People’s Department we will continue to do our part to root out hate.”

USDA fact sheet (PDF, 165 KB) was released that describes the ways Title VI protections cover individuals who are or are perceived to be Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist, or of another religious group.
