In May 2023, as part of its effort to combat discrimination and educate the federal workforce on countering bias, the Biden Administration issued the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. This called on the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to take several actions, including creating a Workplace Rights Federal Toolkit. The administration unveiled the toolkit in September 2024 and briefed FMA and other organizations on its rollout and asked us to share the toolkit with our members.

The toolkit is composed of public resources available from the White House, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and OPM. OPM states the resources in the toolkit also comply with the National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia and Related Forms of Bias and Discrimination, announced in June 2024. The goals included in this strategy are aimed at making resources more accessible to feds concerning their rights in the workplace, including the right to religious accommodations and workplace flexibility.
