Read our privacy policy Since taking office on 20 January, Donald Trump has issued a series of executive orders aimed at dismantling diversity, equity and inclusion programs across the federal government and the private sector. DEI is a relatively new term but efforts to address inequities and structural racism go back centuries in the U.S. More recent efforts can be traced to the landmark Civil Rights Act signed in 1964 by then-President Lyndon B. Johnson, which banned discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, color and sex, and ushered in sweeping changes to American life, including ending segregation. Civil rights advocates say DEI efforts help uplift marginalized groups and address the continued effects of historical and generational inequity. But when asked specifically about Trump's order to close federal DEI offices, respondents were more evenly divided, with 51% opposed and 44% in favor, largely along partisan lines.
