The federal government established the Special Secretariat for Policies to Promote Racial Equality (SEPPIR) on 21 March, the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The date connected domestic organizing to an international anti-racist calendar. Black movement advocates had pressed for a state body able to coordinate policy across ministries. The secretariat created an institutional foothold for that work, although its authority and resources remained dependent on government priorities and did not replace movement-led organizing.
