Briefly

In the wake of George Floyd's murder, protests erupted nationwide, leading some of America's largest corporations to pledge over $1.7 billion toward racial justice and systemic change.
Companies like Nike and Microsoft began taking visible stances against systemic racism and refused to sell their products for police use, demonstrating their commitment to social justice.
As corporate America began embracing diversity initiatives, these programs soon faced scrutiny from conservative lawmakers, leading some companies to scale back or eliminate their DEI efforts.
The momentum surrounding racial equity shifted rapidly as companies that initially pledged support to social justice found themselves under pressure, indicating a volatile corporate climate for DEI efforts.
