Conservative Activist Influences Corporate Shift on DEI Policies

Robby Starbuck targets major brands, prompting changes in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

Lowe's, Harley-Davidson, and John Deere have scaled back DEI programs after online pressure from Starbuck.
The Supreme Court's ruling on affirmative action has intensified scrutiny on corporate diversity efforts.
Starbuck claims companies' DEI initiatives were weak and easily dismantled through targeted campaigns.
Critics argue that rolling back DEI policies could harm companies' long-term business performance.
Experts warn that abandoning climate and diversity goals might pose future economic risks for businesses.
