Help Corporations Stand Firm Against Anti-DEI Push

A group of Democratic attorneys general is warning corporations against bowing to the GOP's anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) push. In a letter sent to CEOs of major corporations, the AGs said that the GOP's efforts to roll back DEI initiatives are "wrongheaded" and "discriminatory."

The letter comes as Republican-led states have been introducing legislation that would ban or restrict DEI training in the workplace. These efforts have been met with widespread criticism from businesses, civil rights groups, and labor unions.

The AGs in the letter said that the GOP's anti-DEI push is "part of a broader effort to suppress voting rights, restrict access to reproductive healthcare, and discriminate against LGBTQ people." They urged corporations to "stand up for what's right" and resist these efforts.

"We urge you to continue to invest in DEI initiatives and to speak out against the GOP's anti-DEI agenda," the letter said. "We stand with you in your commitment to creating a more just and equitable workplace for all."
