Let’s not go backward. Let’s keep fighting for education that lifts everyone up.

DEI isn’t about division—it’s about connection. It’s about giving all students the tools and support they need to succeed. Cutting these programs doesn’t create equality. It just makes it harder for those who’ve already had to fight the hardest.

It’s About Belonging

College should be more than just surviving—it should be a place where people can grow, connect, and thrive. DEI creates that environment. It tells every student: You belong here. Your story matters. We’re rooting for you.

DEI programs help build those skills—not just tolerance, but understanding, collaboration, and empathy.

Prepping for the Real World

Let’s face it—our world is diverse. Jobs are diverse. Communities are diverse. If students never learn how to work with different kinds of people, they’re going to be at a disadvantage in real life.

DEI programs offer a lifeline—mentorship, scholarships, mental health resources, cultural centers, and peer groups that make students feel seen, supported, and safe.

For many students, DEI is the reason they make it through.

Real Support for Real People

College can be overwhelming. Now imagine being the first in your family to go, or trying to navigate it while facing racism, ableism, or homophobia.

These programs aren’t about giving anyone an "unfair advantage." They’re about making sure everyone gets a real chance to succeed, no matter where they come from or what challenges they face.

If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t quite belong somewhere—or saw someone else struggling to fit in—you already understand why DEI matters.

The people voted. We must respect that.

Let’s protect access, fight for healthcare equity, and keep moving forward—not backward.
