An LGBTQ employee resource group at the Justice Department – DOJ Pride – has decided to shut down following Donald Trump’s executive order to ban DEI efforts inside the federal government. From NBC News:
The group “ceased to operate effective immediately,” the group’s board said in an email sent to members Tuesday evening.
“In this time of uncertainty and concern, we have taken the extraordinary measure of ceasing operations of DOJ Pride,” the message said. “We have made this decision in the interest and for the protection of all members.”
The email, which was shared with NBC News by two DOJ staffers, thanked members for their “understanding during this time” and expressed hope that the group could “rebuild in the future.”
