Shoring up policies that promote diversity, equity and inclusion and destroying a proposed conservative guidebook that seeks to dismantle long-fought-for civil rights in America are just two of the challenges National Urban League President Marc H. Morial set forth Thursday to the group’s allies.
Morial thanked the urban league’s board of directors for stepping up after “the U.S. Supreme Court struck a blow for affirmative action and the subsequent insanity and madness of the attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion.”John Deere ends support of ‘social or cultural awareness’ events, distances from inclusion efforts“They made a commitment that their companies would not retreat, they would not backtrack,” he said.
“We know that DEI policies help companies become more profitable, more innovative, and more resilient,” Morial said. “Whatever short-term political goodwill these companies have bought with this irresponsible decision will come at far too high a price for their employees, their customers, and their shareholders.”
“It was simply a vow to uphold racial segregation and white supremacy signed by 19 senators and 82 representatives from the South,” Morial said. “But Project 2025 goes even further. It would implement a social hierarchy that oppresses not only people of color, but women, non-Christians, the LGBTQ community, disabled Americans, working families and immigrants. It is imperative that we dedicate ourselves to defeating and destroying Project 2025.
