When people say they are against #DEI , you don't have to read between the lines. Just watch and listen to what they are making crystal clear: They want the opposite--
NO diversity. NO equity. NO Inclusion.
NONE Whatsoever.

“Diversity and equity have no legitimate purpose” truly is saying the quiet part out loud.

Yesterday, we testified before Energy and Commerce Committee on threats and issues that are arising at the intersection of racial justice, civil rights, and the rapid emergence of AI and other advanced digital technologies. Click here to view excerpts from our testimony:

JUST SAY IT:
#DEI as the NEW N-WORD

The weaponization of DEI now has all the subtlety of a white noose around a black neck. This is not about Black peoples’ qualifications. It’s about disqualifying Black people for American citizenship. @ap

Had a great conversation on the #SXSW stage with Melanie Campbell and Alphonso David, discussing all the current threats and all the future opportunities for #socialjustice and - #economicopportunity .

.Alphonso David from Global Black Economic Forum cites statics demonstrating the real presence of systemic racism in America and a well-funded effort to counter equality, “We need to recognize that systemic racism exist and we need to do something about it.” #sxsw Good Faith Media

@dhewitt06 from @lawyerscomm at #sxsw , “The election of @barackobama created a false narrative of post-racism…From the founding, racial discrimination is the baseline for America.” Good Faith Media

THIS is what democracy looks like! Kudos to Alabama college students for this important activism. Though this particular battle was not won, the strength of their organizing will only grow. #democracy #civilrights #GoodTrouble #DEI #Diversity #racialjustice Lawyers' Committee ☎️866-OUR-VOTE

Margaret Huang and Southern Poverty Law Center understand the sacredness of our #vote . We need a collective movement to preserve it.
