Federal Health Workers Targeted by DEI Watch List

Federal health workers are facing intimidation after a website published their personal information, labeling them as 'targets' for their involvement in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

• The website's publication of personal information creates a hostile environment for DEI advocates, potentially deterring individuals from engaging in such initiatives.
• The actions described reflect a broader trend of backlash against DEI efforts, which could lead to a chilling effect on diversity and inclusion programs within federal agencies.
• The intimidation tactics employed by the website may exacerbate existing fears among marginalized groups in the workplace, undermining their sense of safety and belonging.
• The aggressive memos from HHS further threaten the progress of DEI by discouraging employees from participating in or promoting diversity initiatives, leading to a potential rollback of existing programs.
