Across the United States, efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are being rolled back. Laws banning DEI programs in workplaces and education are spreading, funding for DEI initiatives is being slashed, and civil rights protections are being undermined. These attacks threaten the progress we’ve made toward a more just and equitable society.

The Growing Assault on DEI

🚨 State-Level Bans on DEI – States like Florida, Texas, and others have already passed laws that restrict DEI initiatives in public universities and government agencies, eliminating programs designed to ensure fair access to opportunities.

🚨 Attacks on Affirmative Action – The Supreme Court’s 2023 decision to strike down race-conscious college admissions has emboldened efforts to dismantle workplace diversity programs. Major corporations are facing lawsuits for prioritizing DEI in hiring.

🚨 Defunding DEI Programs – Federal and state lawmakers are cutting funding for DEI efforts in education, healthcare, and government institutions, limiting resources for marginalized communities.

🚨 Book Bans and Curriculum Restrictions – Legislation is being introduced to erase discussions of systemic racism, gender identity, and LGBTQ+ history from schools, silencing important perspectives in education.

Why This Matters

✅ DEI Strengthens Our Communities – Diverse workplaces and schools drive innovation, economic growth, and social progress.

✅ Civil Rights Go Beyond Race – DEI efforts protect not only racial minorities but also women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

✅ Equity Benefits Everyone – Fair policies in education, healthcare, and employment create opportunities for all Americans, not just a select few.
