Revise and Revive DEI
See this article about the history, need, support, and criticism of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). DEI has become more controversial and is being removed by the current administration. I believe we should revise and revive DEI and not let it DIE (Divide In Execution). As we revise and revive, should we add a new name?

Harmony
Opportunity
Participation
Education to Encourage Equity
In my workplace, we received DEI training that could be improved, but was good and helpful.
In community, we joined Unity in Community and learned about history, opportunity, and action tied to DEI. We invite you to join and add your diverse voices and views in respectful dialogue.
In faith, we have participated in MeckMIN Mecklenburg Interfaith Network and got our church to join to learn, serve, and collaborate. See this link for related teachings and beliefs of our church. Here is an invitation to a great upcoming event for MeckMIN:
Diverse voices should be brought together in harmony and avoid discord.
Equity should be encouraged and focused on individual and family history and not coerced equality.
Inclusion should come from education, opportunity, and participation and not a culture of cancellation and victimization.
What are examples of problems to overcome, revisions to make, and opportunities to improve?
