The current climate in the U.S. is making one thing clear: protections and progress can be weakened quickly when they are treated as optional. When DEIA work is reduced to a “nice-to-have,” people feel it in practical ways. It shows up when accommodations take longer or stop being prioritized. It shows up when harassment goes unaddressed. It shows up when pay inequities go unchecked, when workplace norms reward conformity, and when employees are expected to absorb harm quietly to keep their jobs. CDO Action exists because this work needs to be credible, consistent, and durable. We are building a coalition to unify DEIA training and certification standards so organizations can’t treat equity like a trend. We focus on communicating what DEIA is (and what it isn’t), educating supporters and detractors, and creating a shared roadmap that strengthens trust in this field. Contribute to the cause. Your support helps fund the foundational work required to bring DEIA leaders, educators, and certifying bodies together to build and maintain this coalition: https://lnkd.in/g2YMyeDD #DEIA #Equity #Inclusion #Accessibility #WorkplaceCulture #Accountability #CDOAction
