Lately, I’ve seen a lot of bold statements about getting rid of DEI. But let’s be clear—if you’re against something, name it.
Stop hiding behind letters. Spell it out:
“I OPPOSE DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION.”
And while you’re at it, let’s get specific:
🔹 DIVERSITY? Too many different perspectives making decisions?
🔹 EQUITY? The idea that barriers should be removed so more people can access opportunities?
🔹 INCLUSION? Making sure people aren’t shut out just because they don’t fit the mold?
DEI ISN’T JUST AN ACRONYM—IT’S ABOUT BELONGING. 🏡✨
And here’s the kicker: Companies that fail to create a sense of belonging lose over 💰 $300 BILLION 💰 a year in employee turnover. Because when people don’t feel valued, they leave. And when they leave, organizations lose talent, innovation, and institutional knowledge.
HERE’S WHERE IT GETS PERSONAL. 🦽💬
I’m a quadriplegic. A full-time wheelchair user navigating a world that wasn’t designed for me. So when someone says they’re against DEI, I hear:
❌ “Making spaces accessible is too much of a hassle.”
❌ “People like you should just figure it out on your own.”
❌ “Opportunities should stay limited to those who already have access.”
If that’s your stance—fine. But own it. Because if you can’t say the words “I OPPOSE DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION” out loud, maybe, just maybe, it’s worth reconsidering why you’re saying it at all.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? LET’S TALK SPECIFICS—NOT JUST ACRONYMS. 🔎💡
