Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Programs Are Lawful and Help Ensure Compliance with Civil Rights Laws. For more than 150 years, federal law has recognized and explicitly prohibited racial discrimination in business arrangements. Ensuring Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in Our Economy Benefits Marginalized Communities, Individual Businesses, and the Nation as a Whole. The vast majority of Americans across racial, ideological, and generational lines agree that corporate America should reflect the racial diversity of America, businesses should take active steps to make sure that companies reflect America’s racial diversity, and racial diversity in business leads to greater profitability and innovation. We urge you to do all that you can to promote, protect, and expand programs that lead to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
