Trump 2.0, along with the Republican majorities in Congress and the Supreme Court, have taken regressive actions that endanger everyone’s health and safety, but the impact is most severe for the least privileged sectors of society.

DEI: What it is, why it’s important, and what you …
DEI has been the target of a concerted campaign since the first Trump administration, when the president rescinded numerous executive orders supporting DEI and inflamed racial tensions among Americans.
