Conservative Group Publishes Federal Worker 'DEI Watchlist'

A public health advocacy group is alarmed by a DEI Watchlist created by the American Accountability Foundation, which targets federal employees, particularly at public health agencies, with their names and details listed on the website.
Dr. Georges Benjamin criticized the DEI Watchlist, stating it is meant to intimidate individuals working on health equity initiatives, and he emphasized the importance of DEI efforts for equitable health outcomes.
Tom Jones of the American Accountability Foundation defended the Watchlist, claiming it is not a threat but a tool to identify individuals promoting what he called destructive ideologies.
The creation of the DEI Watchlist coincides with President Donald Trump's actions against federal DEI programs, raising concerns about the future of diversity initiatives in government.
