Summary

The Trump administration and MAGA movement have made dismantling DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies one of their top priorities—and they’re delivering on that promise. From canceling all DEI initiatives in the federal government to turning the term into a political insult, efforts toward diversity and inclusion have been systematically rolled back. So what does this mean for workplaces, government agencies, and communities across the country? How does this impact civil rights, hiring practices, and representation at the highest levels? To break it all down, Don is joined by Dr. Alaysia Black Hackett, former Chief Diversity and Equity Officer for Biden’s Labor Department, for a deep dive into the consequences of these attacks and what comes next.
