Attorneys general from 19 Democratic-led states, led by Illinois AG Kwame Raoul and Nevada AG Ford, have issued a letter to the American Bar Association (ABA), Fortune 100 CEOs, and other leaders to refute attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts.

The Democratic AGs emphasized that DEI initiatives remain lawful in both educational and other contexts, and are crucial for fostering equitable workplaces and societal progress.
