If you’re mad about what’s going on, I urge you to investigate grassroots efforts to show your disgust.

DEI is NOT the monster that MAGA makes it out to be. Personally, I have benefited from DEI and I would imagine many of you have, as well, even if it’s not transparent to you. DEI initiatives support pay equity and job protections for working women (so we have a job to return to after maternity leave, for example, and facilities for nursing mothers). They also ensure equal hiring opportunities for women and prevent discrimination and harassment in the workplace. These are things that I and most if not all of the women I know have relied upon, even if they’re not aware of them or don’t intellectually understand how critical they are to our ability to support ourselves and our children and pursue our careers with dignity and equality.

In addition, they provide accessible workplaces for employees with disabilities, and they prevent gender, race, and age discrimination in employment, among others. These protections exist to ensure that companies attract, consider, and support a broad range of candidates and that ANY qualified candidates – no matter their race, gender, ethnicity, age, and status – are not overlooked in hiring.

These are just a few of the most obvious ways that DEI has made our workplaces safer and more efficient.
I fail to see how these are bad practices.

So I will be planning ahead and participating in the February 28 economic blackout.
