DEI Subcommittee
There is an intrinsic component to DEI work that gives it truth: People want to see themselves in the places that matter to them: school, work, community, politics. Knowing that we can relate to the people engaged in the issues we care about connects us to those issues and builds trust.

Trump Administration Actions Against Black Americans Have Deep Historical Roots
Catalina Gonzalez, Rachel Mayo March 6, 2025
In states across the country, the far-right is suppressing the real history of structural racism and Black progress at the same time that the new Trump regime is preparing to copy from that history directly — particularly its most violent chapters: Slavery, post-Reconstruction and racial segregation of the Jim Crow era, the Tulsa Massacre of 1921, voter suppression, redlining, and police killings of Black Americans. In these periods, white Americans launched a hostile backlash against Black American progress. But the current administration’s aggression also harkens back to other violent and anti-democratic actions that the U.S. government and military have perpetrated on Indigenous people in North America and colonized people in Africa, Latin America, and Asia.

We measure success in many different ways. On the playing field athletes measure it in victories. In academia it is measured by accreditation; and in public service by election or appointment to higher office. Business success is typically gauged in terms of financial performance. But whatever the field of endeavor, a benchmark common to all levels of success is the degree to which an individual influences others. In that regard, it is impossible to overlook the influence that the Latino community has had on the state of Georgia.
