Earlier this week Harley Davidson announced it is ending diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and other progressive initiatives at the company. The decision came from pressure from Robby Starbuck, a conservative filmmaker and activist who has successfully taken on DEI programs at several companies in the US. Regardless of what we think we know about Harley Davidson’s shareholders and customers; this is about the nature of their so-called commitment to DEI and progressive change. The recent decisions by companies like Harley-Davidson, John Deere, and Tractor Supply to roll back their DEI initiatives expose a frail commitment to these values, unraveling under the pressure of a single conservative activist. This retreat is not just a reflection of their lack of conviction but also a clear signal that they are out of touch with the changing demographics and expectations of the U.S. workforce. As of 2023, Millennials and Gen Z make up nearly 75% of the workforce, a group known for valuing social justice and diversity—yet these companies seem more concerned with appeasing a vocal minority than embracing progressive change. Starbuck’s claim that Harley-Davidson had "gone totally woke" highlights a broader cultural clash. In 2024, the term "woke" has become a flashpoint for debate around social justice and corporate responsibility, often weaponized by conservatives to instill fears around progressive movements. This reactionary stance reflects a deeper anxiety about the erosion of traditional power structures, particularly among some white males, no offense, who feel threatened by the growing emphasis on equity and inclusion. This fragility often manifests as resistance to DEI efforts, seen as a direct challenge to their historical dominance. For companies like Harley-Davidson, this retreat is not just a step back from DEI, it’s a failure to align with the values of a younger, more diverse workforce that demands more than performative allyship. The broader conservative backlash against DEI and other progressive movements reveals a deep-seated fear of change—one that often translates into attempts to stifle progress. While some companies may believe they are avoiding immediate controversy or financial loss by stepping back from DEI initiatives, in reality they will have to catch up to a world that is moving forward with or without them. #dei #diversity #inclusion #equity #diversitymatters #inclusionrevolution #csr #workplace #corporatesocialresponsibility #woke #progressivechange #ergs #workforce #corporateculture

Today, we acknowledge the horrific legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. This darkest chapter in human history inflicted immeasurable suffering, exploitation, and trauma on millions of lives. It's imperative to remember this painful past to understand its enduring impact on societies today. The transatlantic slave trade was a crime against humanity, a gross violation of human rights, and a foundational injustice that continues to shape systemic inequalities. We must commit to dismantling the remnants of this brutal era through education, empathy, and action. Let's honor the resilience of those who survived and their descendants by working towards a more equitable and just world. By confronting our history honestly, we can build a future free from racism, discrimination, and oppression. #InternationalDayforRemembrance #SlaveTrade #Abolition #BlackHistory #DEI #Equity #Justice #HumanRights #Reparations #History
