AG Andrea Joy Campbell has joined a coalition of 13 attorneys general in sending a letter to Walmart today, voicing concerns about the company’s recent announcement of its plans to step away from its commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion. In the letter sent to Walmart President and CEO Doug McMillon, the attorneys general urge the company to reconsider its decision to phase out supplier diversity programs, close down the Center for Racial Equality, end equity trainings for staff, and remove the words “diversity” and “DEI” from company documents and employee titles. The coalition argues that the move would undermine important social progress and antidiscrimination efforts. McMillon announced the creation of Walmart’s Center for Racial Equality in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd, calling social justice and equity “essential” to the company’s “core business.”
