Companies proclaiming their commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion are secretly funding the very people working to destroy those values.
Mastercard, Coca-Cola, Meta, and DoorDash – corporate giants that pride themselves on their progressive values – are sponsors of an upcoming conference featuring Christopher Rufo, the far-right extremist who has made it his mission to dismantle DEI initiatives across America.
This is not just hypocrisy. It's a betrayal of every employee, customer, and community member who believed these companies when they said they stood for diversity and inclusion.
Christopher Rufo is the man who boasted about making Critical Race Theory "the perfect villain," who cheered the ousting of Harvard's first Black president, and who has made it his life's work to strip away DEI programs from education and corporate America. This is the same Christopher Rufo whose strategies and talking points have become a playbook for extremist groups like Moms for Liberty in their crusade against inclusive education.
We cannot let these corporations play both sides. They can't claim to champion DEI while funding its most prominent opponents. It's time to make them choose.
