I appreciate all the earnest folks who are explaining why their institution's DEIA program was good, what impact it had, and why the govt eliminating it is awful. Really. I do.
But you're communicating the wrong thing. Because that's not the fight you're in.
The fight you're in is about segregation. The government is forcing you to choose segregation -- the obstruction of non white people (and white women) from entering or advancing in your industry.
You need to start clarifying THAT.
Be. Clear.
Help the media and public call a Thing a THING.
Hold your industry accountable by CALLING THE THING THE THING.
Make that room, that meeting, effing uncomfortable.
And force the question: Are we choosing segregation so that we don't end up on a fucked up list monitored by some 19 yo incel?
