Companies Ditching DEI

Please feel free to reply with additional corporations! Let's name and shame them.

Given the pressure being put on companies to abandon their diversity, equity, and inclusion programs from republican attorney’s general, I have been asked to send out a partial list of the companies that are bending the knee to the Trump regime:

1. Target: The retailer concluded its three-year DEI goals and ended its Racial Equity Action and Change (REACH) initiatives by 2025.

2. Walmart: Walmart rolled back several DEI initiatives, including not renewing a five-year commitment to a racial equity center established in 2020 and withdrawing from the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index.

3. Lowe’s: The home improvement retailer ended its participation in the Human Rights Campaign’s surveys and changed its internal policy to no longer sponsor or support parades or festivals.

4. John Deere: In July 2024, John Deere announced it would eliminate all DEI policies in favor of a quality-based workplace.

5. Harley-Davidson: The motorcycle manufacturer ended diversity and other progressive initiatives, stating it had not operated a DEI function since April 2024.

10. Amazon: Amazon halted some of its DEI programs, focusing instead on programs with proven outcomes and fostering a more inclusive

1. Meta (formerly Facebook): Meta has ended its DEI programs, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressing concerns over the effectiveness of such initiatives.

2. McDonald’s: The fast-food giant has rolled back its diversity goals, aligning with a broader corporate trend of reassessing DEI commitments.

3. Toyota Motor Corporation: In October 2024, Toyota announced it would refocus its DEI programs and cease sponsorship of LGBTQ+ events, citing a highly politicized discussion about DEI.
