#Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom—and a reminder that justice delayed is still justice denied. We honor the resilience of those who waited years to learn of liberation. And we recommit to fighting for the freedoms still being denied today.

Federal election officials are suggesting states must pledge to follow President Donald Trump’s directive curbing diversity, equity and inclusion programs as a condition for receiving $15 million in election security funding.
Grants tie Trump’s anti-DEI order to election security money
The new requirement for the grants has sent Democratic secretaries of state around the nation scrambling to assess the potential impacts.

You Are Probably Wildly Underestimating How Many Americans Support DEI, New Study Shows
How popular is diversity and inclusion in Trump’s America, really? A new study suggests whatever you’re thinking, you’re probably wrong.
inc.com
This is circulating as one of the many ways to protest the new administration: On March 15th, mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses your opposition to him (use his own phrase, "You're fired", say he's a poor performer like he's said to fire federal workers illegally, etc.).
Should you "re-brand" your DEI work? No. One of (many) reasons that solely re-branding DEI–such as avoiding using the acronym, terms–as the only thing you change is not enough and it's not solving the problems you might think it does.
DEI isn’t some new idea—it’s shorthand for our civil rights & access to personal freedom - keys to America’s progress from the start. But Trump + the GOP want to dismiss liberty as a culture war. We can’t let them. Read my latest with @jenpsaki.msnbc.com for @msnbc.com: www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
The GOP wants to treat American values as culture war issues. We shouldn’t take the bait.
The pain and harm Trump causes is real and we should never diminish that, but we also can’t give him more credit than he’s due.

This is not okay. If this happened at your org, what communications would be required? Look at what you can do to protect your people before this comes to your door. It will, it won't knock, it won't be polite, it won't be legal. Prepare & get ahead, communicators. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Makes all the crap over the last couple of weeks worth it when someone puts this in a chat during my workshop with their team. Yay you.
Lily Zheng has introduced the FAIR Framework - Fairness, Access, Inclusion and Representation, a leveled, self-evident evolution of DEI. I'm so grateful they brought me in to look at it from a #Communications perspective and add a quote. Grab it, use it at your org. hbr.org/2025/01/what...
