Abstract

The article discusses how diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives can survive in the face of backlash. It highlights the current attacks on DEI programs and the impact of restrictive legislation. The article draws parallels with the feminist movements of the 20th century, which sustained progress during periods of closed doors. It explores strategies for sustaining DEI work, such as maintaining networks, facilitating community conversations, preserving collective memory, reframing the work, and nurturing the collective identity within the DEI community. The article emphasizes the importance of strategy and focus in continuing DEI efforts. [Extracted from the article]
