Dear Representative,
When I first heard about the president’s executive order regarding DEI, I felt it was just another phrase for affirmative action and being married to a black woman, that believed we were far enough evolved to not need this anymore, I didn’t let this bother me. However, I have thought more on this, and read several articles and viewed many videos that have educated me that DEI is much larger than civil rights for black Americans, but women, transgender people, queer people, Native Americans, disabled people, the more mature, and any person of color or people who have religious beliefs other than christian. It seems that cancelling DEI programs and practices only benefits white, male, christians. This anti-humanity mindset doesn’t sound like it allows most people to pursue their happiness or enjoy much freedom.
There must be something that can be done to stop this extreme executive order that has caused websites to be washed of medical information that is helpful to many. Businesses are being told how to hire. This not right.
Please help.
Sincerely,
Summer D. Clemenson
