I'm leading a growing group (over 5k employees) at a Fortune 200 company against ESG/DEI. We were successful against vax mandates, but this battle is wrought with more pitfalls and landmines. Company seems to fire first and ask questions later. I'm currently waiting to hear about the results of an Employee Relations "investigation", where a wokie complained about statements on our website. All true and factual, but the social media policy basically silences ANYONE with a dissenting viewpoint and subjects that person to the FEELINGS of the most offendable person in the company. Truly terrifying territory.

Did you all know it's LEGAL under Title VII to discriminate against communists? Go read it for yourself, it's all written. If ESG/DEI can be tied to communists, I believe we have a legal and fighting chance to moving he needle back.

Interesting. Just looked it up...

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, under the section "Unlawful Employment Practices":

(f) Members of Communist Party or Communist-action or Communist-front organizations

As used in this subchapter, the phrase "unlawful employment practice" shall not be deemed to include any action or measure taken by an employer, labor organization, joint labor­ management committee, or employment agency with respect to an individual who is a member of the Communist Party of the United States or of any other organization required to register as a Communist­-action or Communist-­front organization by final order of the Subversive Activities Control Board pursuant to the Subversive Activities Control Act of 1950 [50 U.S.C. 781 et seq.].

It would likely fall under "Communist-front organization".

And the Subversive Activities Control Act:
