Across corporate America—and beyond—DEI efforts are facing significant cutbacks. ?? From 2019 to 2021, DEI roles surged by 25%, reflecting a commitment to inclusion and equity. But since 2022, the trend has sharply reversed, with DEI staffing shrinking by 20%. This isn’t just a corporate issue. Major players like Walmart, Ford, Lowe’s, Boeing, and Harley-Davidson are scaling back DEI, but so are educational institutions, nonprofits, and startups. As we approach 2025—questions loom large: ?? What will DEI efforts look like in this new era? ?? Will we see a resurgence of commitment, or is this a permanent scaling back? ?? How do we ensure the core principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion don’t get lost in the shuffle? Share your thoughts below. #LatinoProfessionals #DEI #Diversity #Walmart #Inclusion

Kimberly and I just became monthly donors, and we feel great knowing that our contribution will help support the incredible mission of OUR Rescue. Every day, more than 12,000 minors fall victim to online sextortion—blackmail where predators use fear to trap children, leading to devastating consequences, including suicide. Teen boys are now primary targets, with a 70% increase in cases, as predators exploit their vulnerability for financial gain. We cannot let these children face this terror alone. By becoming a monthly donor with OUR Rescue, you stand on the front lines, helping to combat this crisis and protect vulnerable youth. Imagine the difference your support can make. You become part of a movement fighting to end child sexual exploitation and prevent heartbreaking loss. Your contribution goes directly to rescuing victims and educating families to prevent these tragedies. Joining this passionate community means so much to us, knowing we’re part of the fight to end child sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Making a difference, one month at a time! ?? Yes, Act Now. Join the fight. Become a monthly donor today and be the hero these children need. ??
