The principles of affirmative action and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in business hiring and support are facing increasing opposition. Across the United States, conservative legislators have initiated actions against diversity programs in state agencies, schools, and private companies, with at least 10 states having implemented restrictions on DEI. In response, House Democrats, including Representatives Raskin and Pressley, have introduced two pieces of legislation aimed at codifying DEI practices in federal programming opportunities. These legislative efforts, led by RepRaskin and RepPressley, seek to ensure racial equity in services across federal agencies, countering the nationwide attacks on DEI programs.
