EXCERPT:
PRESSLEY: “Trump and Republicans are trying to force their vision of an emboldened white supremacy as they work to undo centuries of progress that generations of organizers, activists, and lawmakers have fought to achieve. Diversity, meaning all people. Equity, meaning fair access to opportunity. And inclusion, having a pathway to upward mobility to realized dreams. Diversity, equity, and inclusion is not a nice-to-have, it is a must-have. It is essential. It is essential to ensuring our children, all our children, are afforded a better future than their ancestors were forced to endure.”
