Many of us are wondering why the Democrats are not taking a more vocal and hard stand?
Maybe they’re wondering why we’re not marching outside the GSA, protesting the hijacking of our private information and that of our government by a private citizen.
Maybe we all need to get moving.

On Tuesday I shared space w/ @keshaunpearson.bsky.social as a panelist during this year’s MLK Community Event sponsored by UVA’s Center for Diversity in Engineering. We discussed strategies for maintaining momentum toward justice in the midst of Trump’s distractions. “We Shall NOT be moved ✊🏾‼️”

Trump's rollback of DEI initiatives are an affront to all of us.
It is a FACT that systemic oppression codified in our laws & budgets has harmed women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ & disabled folks, & many others.

We harness our innovation & ability to solve BIG social-cultural issues through diversity. Since 1964 the 🇺🇸 has sought to remove discriminatory barriers so the 🇺🇸 could benefit, especially economically. W/ these acts by the new admin., 🇺🇸 will definitely limit the ability to problem solve, globally.
A unique and beautiful thing about the U.S. is our diversity. Diversity is something to be cultivated so that it can grow.

What makes 🇺🇸 “great,” is its diversity; its ability to wrk twrds a democracy that includes ALL of its people. With the actions of this admin. we’ll need to use our collective organizing power and strategies to ensure diversity remains one of the 🇺🇸 greatest treasures. How will you use your voice?
Trump has signed an executive order eliminating all funding for diversity and inclusion in the federal government, sending home DEI staff who will then be laid off. The historical echo for this is when Woodrow Wilson resegregated the federal government in 1913. We have reached the second nadir.
