Federal Health Workers Targeted by ‘DEI’ Website: Fear and Outrage Mount
A website, “DEI Watch List,” published the personal information of federal health workers, primarily Black employees involved in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, labeling them as “targets.” The site, linked in private group chats and social media, lists alleged “offenses” such as political donations and pronoun usage in bios, sparking fear and alarm among employees. This action, attributed to the conservative American Accountability Foundation, is viewed as a form of intimidation and harassment, with calls for law enforcement investigation. The incident follows recent threatening memos from HHS directing the termination of DEI-related activities and the reporting of non-compliant colleagues, further escalating anxieties within federal health agencies.
