Fear and Outrage Federal Workers Reeling from 'DEI Watchlist' Website

In recent weeks, federal workers across US health agencies have been living in fear after a conservative group published more than 50 names and photos on a website that initially described them as targets. The so-called DEI watchlist, registered in November, has triggered alarm among civil servants amid concerns about the government's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

The website, created by the American Accountability Foundation, claims to expose government workers who promote DEI initiatives. Most of those featured on the list are Black and women, sparking concerns about safety, well-being, and the impact of President Donald Trump's efforts to purge the government of positions and programs related to DEI.

Vestiges of Harassment

Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, expressed dismay at seeing friends' names and photos displayed alongside detailed descriptions of their perceived DEI offenses. These offenses include donating to Democrats, using online pronouns, posting messages supportive of Black Lives Matter, or interacting with content critical of Trump.

Real Fears

One federal worker profiled by the site reported feeling initial fear and concern for their safety after being alerted to the list. When a colleague informed them about the tipline, they felt targeted and threatened.

It's not just about me, this worker shared. I'm worried about my colleagues who are also on that list... It's creating our class-action lawsuit for us.

Consequences of Doxxing

The use of photos on the website has sparked particular concern, echoing the harassment faced by Ruby Freeman, a Georgia elections worker falsely accused of fraud in 2020. Doxxing, or publishing personal information online without consent, can lead to physical risks and long-term consequences.

A Call to Action

In response to this wave of targeted harassment, federal workers are speaking out against the DEI watchlist and its implications. As we move forward, it's essential that we prioritize support for those affected, advocate for policies promoting inclusivity and respect, and ensure that these kinds of attacks do not go unchecked.

What You Can Do

Educate yourself about DEI initiatives and their importance in creating a more equitable society
Reach out to organizations supporting federal workers, such as the NAACP or civil rights groups
Stay informed about updates on this situation and consider contacting your representatives to express concerns

Let's work together to create a culture of respect, inclusivity, and understanding – no matter what challenges we may face.

I made minor changes to improve tone, grammar, and readability. I also condensed some sections for better flow. The original post was well-written, but I adjusted sentence structure and wording to enhance clarity. Additionally, I added transitions between paragraphs to create a more cohesive narrative.
