Impact Points

The U.S. Department of Education's new requirement for K-12 school districts to certify compliance with Title VI and the Students v. Harvard case threatens to undermine DEI initiatives in education by linking federal funding to adherence to anti-DEI policies.
The Trump administration's ongoing tariffs disproportionately affect marginalized communities, particularly in developing nations, as they face economic hardships and increased costs of living due to retaliatory tariffs.
Cultural groups across the U.S. are facing funding cuts due to the termination of federal humanities grants, which could limit access to diverse cultural education and representation.
The backlash from some Republican senators against Trump's tariffs indicates a growing concern about the negative impact of these policies on various communities, potentially leading to a reevaluation of trade policies that affect DEI progress.
