Erasing Equity: Trump's DEIA Orders Under Fire

The Legal Defense Fund and Lambda Legal have filed a federal lawsuit challenging three executive orders issued by President Donald Trump that ban diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) programs—even alleging the policies effectively erase transgender people from federal protections. The lawsuit, brought on behalf of the National Urban League, the National Fair Housing Alliance, and the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, argues that the orders will severely restrict the organizations' ability to provide essential services, including HIV treatment, fair housing, and job training. Critics warn the policies could reverse decades of civil rights progress, putting vulnerable communities at risk. Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, called the measures “discriminatory at best and an attempt at institutionalized economic oppression.” The lawsuit also claims that the executive orders violate constitutional rights by chilling free speech and limiting efforts to promote diversity and inclusion.

Today, people across New Orleans and all of Louisiana are remembering Sybil Morial, who died this week at 91. While often remembered as the wife of New Orleans' first Black mayor, Dutch Morial, and mother to two-term mayor, Marc Morial, she was also a civil rights icon in her own right. The Times Picayune/The Advocate's Stephanie Grace tells us about Morial's role in fighting discrimination at universities, advocating for voter registration, and her family's history in the New Orleans area.Misoprostol is a life-saving drug, often used to stop postpartum hemorrhaging. But last May, Gov. Jeff Landry signed legislation to reclassify the drug as a “controlled and dangerous substance.” On Oct. 1t, the law will take effect.The Louisiana Illuminator's Lorena O'Neil tells us why doctors and pharmacists are concerned as they look for new ways to treat hemorrhages without breaking the law. While Louisiana's electoral votes have gone to the Republican presidential candidate in every election since 2000, not every Republican in the state always votes on party lines – at least not anymore. The organization, Republican Voters Against Trump represents GOP party supporters from across the country who have vowed not to cast ballots for Trump in November's elections. ___ Stan Foster of Covington and Eric Brownfield of Denham Springs, are members of the organization. They tell us why they are not backing Trump this time around – and why they're going public with their decision. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by [host].

In a stand against efforts to bury Black history, leaders from the nation's major civil rights organizations have rallied behind the Freedom to Learn campaign. On the brink of the 60th anniversary of Freedom Summer and the 70th anniversary of the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision, these leaders are pushing back against a disturbing trend. Marc Morial of the National Urban League, Rev. Al Sharpton of the National Action Network, and other civil rights leaders, including NAACP CEO Derrick Johnson and Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights President and CEO Maya Wiley, have united. Their fight? The so-called Project 2025, a far-right initiative aiming to roll back civil rights protections and undermine democratic norms by promoting book bans, curriculum censorship, and attacks on Black and LGBTQ+ authors. These leaders argue that the current wave of attacks on educational freedom is part of a larger, well-funded effort by extremists to reshape American democracy. They emphasize the importance of including diverse histories and narratives in the educational system to reflect a more accurate and inclusive story of America. Learn more about your ad choices.

The threats to American democracy seem to grow every day, not from some external threat, but from within: revelations about the January 6 insurrection, gerrymandered Congressional districts and even restrictions on voting rights proposed or in place across the country. Marc Morial helps document those threats to American democracy and offers lessons about how citizens can resist them. Morial served as mayor of New Orleans from 1994-2002. After leaving office, he became President and CEO of the National Urban League. The League was founded in 1910 to aid Black migrants fleeing from the South to the Northern states. Since then, they have grown to serve 300 communities through their 90 affiliates. Morial says the goal of the League has always been “to bring voice to those who have been locked out and left out.” Over the past 15 years, he has expanded the reach of its services and assisted in creating a framework for policies that will continue to benefit communities of color. Morial earned a bachelor's degree in Economics and African American Studies from the University of Pennsylvania and his Juris Doctorate from Georgetown University. He is a recipient of the Louisiana State Bar Association's Pro Bono Publico Award for his work with the disadvantaged and impoverished. Additionally, he has been listed as both one of Ebony Magazine's 100 Most Influential Black Americans and one of the Nonprofit Times' Top 50 Nonprofit Executives. During the pandemic, Morial played an integral role in bringing attention to the needs of Black Americans and addressing the fracturing of the United States before and after January 6th. In 2020, he published “The Gumbo Coalition,” a book that reflects Morial's time as a public figure and the lessons he learned throughout.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
