Walmart Cancels Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiatives Amid Pressure from Republicans

HeadlineNov 27, 2024

In business news, Walmart, the nation’s largest private employer, has announced plans to roll back its diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, initiatives and close its Center for Racial Equity, which was created after the police killing of George Floyd. In addition, Walmart plans to block third parties from selling certain LGBTQ-themed items on its website. Walmart will also no longer use the terms ”DEI” and “Latinx” in official communications. The move comes just weeks after Donald Trump was elected after campaigning against DEI initiatives.
