The Trump administration's actions against diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) programs focus on banning public anti-discrimination efforts, targeting policies that address historical inequalities. Environmental justice initiatives have faced particular scrutiny, with executive orders reversing Biden’s efforts to promote aid for underserved communities. The EPA has moved to dismantle programs that provide essential support to disadvantaged populations, including the termination of a $20 million grant aimed at ensuring clean water access for farmworkers in California. This represents a broader trend of redefining anti-discrimination efforts as discriminatory in themselves.
Donald Trump's administration has launched a sweeping assault on "diversity, equality, and inclusion" by banning public anti-discrimination efforts that aim to benefit historically disadvantaged groups.
