Also, my understanding is that the EOs are targeting "illegal DEI" which is theoretically a very small subset of "DEI." Over-compliers don't even need to get rid of DEI (much less all mentions of the marginalized identities you noted). But, it's not about requirements is it?

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

Is Bluelining the 'New' Redlining? How Insurance Discrimination Deepens Climate Disparities - Center for International Environmental Law As climate risks rise, insurers use "bluelining"β€”similar to redliningβ€”to shift the burden of climate change onto minority and low-income residents.

LA residents are facing even more trouble from the recent fires due to #bluelining which according to @cielorg.bsky.social "occurs when insurers raise their prices or pull out of areas that they perceive to be at greater environmental risk." (www.ciel.org/bluelining-i...)

Today is a National Day of Mourning for many Native people: a time to grieve the millions lost to the genocide, settler-colonialism, and erasure that continues to this day.

Tonight and always, we support the grief and liberation struggles of indigenous and oppressed peoples everywhere.

Land back!
