MAGA: DEFUND BLACK AMERICA | Trump revokes executive order BANNING DISCRIMINATION in Fed Contracting

from #RolandMartinUnfiltered · host iHeartPodcasts

With the stroke of a pen, the twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief dismantled affirmative action in federal contracting.  On Tuesday, the Office of Personnel Management issued a memo instructing agencies to place Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office staff on paid leave and all public DEI-focused web pages must be taken down by 5p EST today.  Eventually, these employees are expected to be laid off.  This executive order on affirmative action revokes a directive issued by President Lyndon Johnson and limits DEI programs for federal contractors and grant recipients.  Roland Martin spoke with Damon Hewitt, President and Executive Director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and Ron Busby Sr., President and CEO of the U.S. Black Chambers, Incorporated about how this decision will impact Black contractors.
