Companies that walk away from DEI may avoid short-term pressure—but the long-term consequences are real. When you turn your back on communities, people notice. Values aren’t just a statement—they’re a commitment. fortune.com/2025/07/14/stace…

As Trump purges diversity efforts, weaponizing equity to sustain white supremacy, I'm proud to lead legislation reaffirming that diversity, equity, inclusion, & accessibility make our nation great. Diversity is one of our greatest strengths. Our communities are not to be erased.

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) makes the American Dream possible for everyone — no exceptions. We must defend DEI to preserve the progress we’ve made and secure a brighter, more inclusive future for all. Follow @apr_network to learn more. #OurStoriesUniteUs

From civil rights to gender rights to labor rights, the movement for DEI works to uphold American values. DEI ensures everyone has access to opportunity, not special privileges for some. Join Color Of Change and @APR_Network to protect DEI at bit.ly/3Xtwbuv!

A $20k door closed - $200m window opened. The case against the Fearless Fund was a transparent ploy to block access to the American Dream and roll back racial & gender economic progress. Baseless legal bullying tactics have no merit in court and no place in our nation of strivers.
.@FearlessFund shut down its grant program for Black women entrepreneurs as part of a legal settlement. CEO @ArianSimone tells CBS Mornings why she views this development as “a win” — and shares why she wants lawmakers to “protect the right to fund marginalized communities.”

Rejecting DEI is rejecting the very essence of America’s identity. We’re stronger together, not apart. In this compelling new episode of #TheContext podcast with @LovitAlex, @staceyabrams reminds us that standing up for diversity, equity, and inclusion is standing up for the true American spirit.
