President Joe Biden speaks during the United We Stand Summit in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022. The summit is aimed at combating a spate of hate-fueled violence in the U.S., as he works to deliver on his campaign pledge to "heal the soul of the nation.
“We’re honoring Uniters — 21 fellow Americans, pastors, rabbis, imams, building relationships across faiths,” Biden said during his keynote speech Thursday afternoon. “Police officers educating fellow law enforcement officers, middle school students mobilizing their communities.” “Enough,” he said. “We need to say clearly, unfortunately, that white supremacy and all forms of hate fueled by violence have no place in America. Failure to call it out is complicity.”
Officials in Biden’s cabinet, including Domestic Policy Council Director Susan Rice, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, were also in attendance Thursday. Garland and Mayorkas used the summit to announce new priorities and funding to combat hate-fueled violence.
