DEI Programs at Meta & Amazon Scaled Back Ahead Of Donald Trump’s Return

Meta and Amazon are scaling back their diversity programs in response to growing conservative opposition as Donald Trump returns to the U.S. presidency.

Meta is discontinuing its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, including those related to hiring and training, according to an internal memo. The company has also made significant changes, including contributing to Trump’s inaugural fund and appointing conservative figures to its leadership.

Similarly, Amazon is winding down outdated representation and inclusion programs. This move follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action, intensifying the debate over DEI policies.

Both companies cite a changing legal and policy environment as the primary reason for these adjustments.
