Addressing an Ugly Truth: DEI Is Under Attack​
Since its launch in Fall 2023, this course has emerged in a climate of growing anti-DEI sentiment across the United States.
​
-
As of April 2024, ABC News reports that 10 states, including Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, North Carolina, and North Dakota, have implemented restrictions on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
​

By July 2024, Stateline revealed that DEI measures in at least 22 state university systems had been banned or significantly rolled back.
​
-
In September 2024, corporations such as John Deere, Ford, Harley-Davidson, Walmart, and Tractor Supply announced reductions to their DEI programs.
...But the Commitment for DEI Remains Strong​
Despite the setbacks, employees across the country continue to demand work environments free from identity-based harm.
Tens of Thousands of organizations, public institutions, and corporations remain steadfast in their commitment to addressing inequities and fostering inclusive cultures.
The invitation is for all of us to cultivate the commitment to equitable and inclusive outcomes like the City of Los Angeles, Weingart Foundation, AAA Insurance, Target, EY, MGM Resorts, HP, T-Mobile, General Mills, Walgreens, and Sony Music. ​
In fact, nearly 3/4 of executives intend to sustain or expand their DEI efforts over the next 24 months.according to Bridge Partners’ Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Barometer.

your disruption era.
WHY WE CREATED THIS COURSE
Shallow & underdeveloped diversity campaigns and implicit bias trainings often fail to address the root causes of systemic oppression and toxic power dynamics.
Leaders and staff are unsure what lever can be pulled to make meaningful change. This perpetuates inequity and inhibits the growth of truly inclusive workplaces where everyone feels valued and supported.
​
Disrupt Your DEI provides you with the learning, tools, and analysis to inform the development of your next DEI campaign.
A May 2023 Pew Research Center study found that workers value an equitable and inclusive workplace, and believe historically marginalized and under-recognized people have lower quality experiences at work and reduced access to opportunities as compared to others.
What we want, and what we're experiencing is in direct conflict.
​
To create a workplace where everyone has equitable access to opportunities, where Black people, Indigenous people, People of Color, non-binary folks, queer staff, disabled people, neurodivergent employees, women, and other historically marginalized and under-recognized folks aren't experiencing identity-based harms, new innovative strategies and ways of leading are required.
​
Disrupt Your DEI will provide you will the tools, case studies, templates, and resources to help you deepen your analysis and approach to DEI so you can lead that change within your organization.
