The TIME Impact Dinner honored 25 Black leaders who are making significant contributions to racial equity, highlighting the urgent need for such efforts amidst a tense political climate. TIME Chief Marketing and Impact Officer Sade Muhammad emphasized that the urgency of their mission has increased. Recent political changes, including an Executive Order from President Donald Trump targeting DEI initiatives, have led to a rollback of such programs in federal agencies and private corporations. Despite these challenges, attendees expressed hope and resolve in promoting racial equity and combating misinformation.
When we launched this community last year, the moment felt urgent—now, it feels even more so, TIME Chief Marketing and Impact Officer Sade Muhammad said.
We're living in a moment of counter-factual, of misinformation, of disinformation, of false equivalency and the normalization of anti science, and it's infectious, warned Lisa Holder.
In this moment, we are so steadfast in what we are doing, Montgomery said, mentioning the commitment of leaders despite current challenges.
The directive impacted all corners of the federal government, prompting the Environmental Protection Agency to shut down its DEI office.
