Fear and Outrage Spread Among Federal Workers Over DEI Watchlist Website

A controversial website featuring over 50 federal workers' names and photos has sent shockwaves through the government agency community, sparking widespread fear and outrage. The DEI watchlist, registered in November, has been criticized for targeting civil servants who promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

A Website of Shame and Intimidation

The website, created by the conservative group American Accountability Foundation, lists its targets as offenders who have promoted DEI initiatives. Most of those featured are Black women, raising concerns about racial bias and gender-based targeting. The site's content includes personal information such as name, photo, job title, and publicly available details, accompanied by the headline A quick summary of DEI offenses. These offenses include donating to Democrats, using certain pronouns online, posting supportive messages about Black Lives Matter, or being critical of President Trump. The website has sparked outrage among federal workers, who are now living in fear.

Fear and Anger Unleashed

One federal worker profiled by the site expressed concern for their safety when a colleague alerted them to the list and its tipline. First, it was a little bit of fear, they said. Is my life about to change forever? Then, I think it turned into a bit of anger. Others have reported receiving threatening messages, including pizzas being anonymously delivered to their homes.

Ripple Effects of Fear and Intimidation

The publication of the website has triggered a ripple effect, with over a dozen workers named deleting their LinkedIn profiles and one reporting scrubbing their bio due to harassment. The DEI watchlist is now the top result Google returns when searching some of the workers' names, further escalating the situation.

A Call to Action Against Intimidation

Federal workers are speaking out against this form of intimidation, with many vowing to stay in their jobs and fight back against the website's creators. As Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, said It shocks me, hurts me, makes me afraid for my friends. They're ruining lives.

Protecting Federal Workers from Harassment

In light of this situation, it is crucial that federal workers are protected from harassment and intimidation. This includes ensuring that government agencies take swift action to address concerns about the website's publication and its impact on worker safety.

A Path Forward for a Safe and Inclusive Work Environment

The DEI watchlist has highlighted the need for increased protections against harassment and intimidation. As we move forward in 2025, it is essential that we prioritize creating a safe and inclusive work environment for all civil servants.
