Right-Wing Group Publishes D.E.I. Watch List' Targeting Federal Workers
Briefly

A conservative non-profit organization, the American Accountability Foundation, has created a controversial watch list naming over 50 federal workers they believe promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. The group claims these individuals supported diversity initiatives or criticized President Trump, and called for their dismissal. Many targets are Black employees, particularly from health agencies like the CDC and NIH, who are involved in programs aimed at serving vulnerable populations. The foundation's actions highlight ongoing political tension around DEI amidst broader pushback against the Biden administration's policies.
The American Accountability Foundation’s D.E.I. bureaucrat watch list aims to target federal workers perceived to oppose the Trump agenda, highlighting their social media posts and donations.
This list predominantly focuses on Black health agency employees, attacking their efforts toward equity and inclusion, amidst broader partisan battles over these policies.
The group asserts these employees' actions, including social media criticism of Trump and support for diversity efforts, warrant their inclusion on the watch list.
The foundation’s actions reflect a larger trend of scrutinizing government employees based on political beliefs, often at the expense of targeted individuals' careers.
