DEI and Accessibility, Explained | ACLU

Right-wing groups are working to dismantle long-standing anti-discrimination protections and statutory mandates by targeting what they broadly refer to as diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility ( DEIA ) These attacks on DEIA are not new, but part of a broader strategy to discredit DEIA and weaponize the term itself.

President Donald Trump 's administration is working to eradicate DEIA initiatives and civil rights protections.

When young people feel they belong and have access to diverse spaces, they can fully engage academically, increase understanding and respect across differences, and succeed in society.

DEIA policies in the military help ensure qualified individuals are not excluded based on race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or disability factors unrelated to their ability to serve.
