Senate Democrats Introduce the Economic Justice Act

Senate Democrats have recently unveiled a proposal known as the Economic Justice Act that would infuse $350 billion in immediate and long-term investments into communities of color to help offset racial inequality. Lead by Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the proposal also seeks to deliver ten financial investments over a period of five years to communities of color to support various initiatives such as child care, mental health, and job development.  

The American Counseling Association will continue to monitor the progress of this legislation.
