Thank you for posting this. 😊

The crazy/ironic/insane part of all this attacks on DEI on private businesses is that this party (I'm not calling it the Republican party) is all for getting rid of government regulation of businesses. And here they are DICTATING that these businesses need to alter their business plans on hiring.

Great point

cakeline.bsky.social•19 days ago

Kroger is absolute garbage, despite this. I’m glad we have Meijer here as a good alternative here in Cincinnati.

lostinspacecoast.bsky.social•19 days ago

I work for Allstate. We are doubling down on employee interests groups and holding strong with our initiatives

nancylevinestearns.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thanks! I’ll check them out and include on updated list!

middlerob.bsky.social•19 days ago

I would venture that these companies may state something in their policies, but they are far from unequivocal in their actions. May need to rethink this.

middlerob.bsky.social•19 days ago

Can you remove the companies who are supporting MAGA, the presidents inaugural committee and those that are supporting GOP electeds who are supporting the removal of DEI programs and supporting the actions of the current administration? Apple, Home Depot, etc???

nancylevinestearns.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thanks for your note. A word about the list.

middlerob.bsky.social•19 days ago

Just pointing out that their stated objectives aren’t their actions. And this list seems to be an endorsement on its face.

nancylevinestearns.bsky.social•19 days ago

Understood. But any company that even makes a statement about its commitments to DEI will be targeted by Trump, state attorneys general, and anti-DEI shareholder activists.

Could be why a company like Aldi scrubbed its site.

middlerob.bsky.social•19 days ago

I’d rather support a company whose actions are for the good instead of pointless rhetoric. Maybe check out the actions of the founding shareholder and management of a company like Home Depot before giving them accolades. Just sayin’.

dougbfresh.bsky.social•19 days ago

TO be fair the founder is no longer involved in the company.

bratwurstrebell.bsky.social•19 days ago

This list looks like it’s part of a longer list. Any chance we’ll see the rest of these companies? We have to stand with them

Add Costco to the list. They are getting a lot of backlash for standing firm

twojaysmoon.bsky.social•19 days ago

I wish some groceries stores besides Costco would be on this list. 😬
Costco is 3 hours away from me

mariakuhn.bsky.social•19 days ago

I was going to suggest Aldi, but apparently they've decided to be shady and remove DEI language from their careers page on their website.

twojaysmoon.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yeah, I'm in Florida. The only places to buy food from are Walmart, Publix & Aldi's 😔
Used to be Winn-Dixie's but Aldi's just bought them out 🤷‍♀️
I will be HEAVILY limiting the things that I buy from these companies tho.
Example instead of pet food@ Walmart. I'll be buying that at Chewy from now on.

mariakuhn.bsky.social•19 days ago

I've used Chewy for years! Cheaper than Walmart!

twojaysmoon.bsky.social•19 days ago

Good to know. Thanks ! 🙏😊

twojaysmoon.bsky.social•19 days ago

And Albertsons and Kroger's aren't near me either.

kmu1.bsky.social•19 days ago

In NY/ NJ/PA area, Wakefern which owns ShopRite, still maintains diversity and sustainability mission statements:

ShopRite, Price Rite Marketplace, The Fresh Grocer, Dearborn Market, Gourmet Garage, Fairway Market, and Di Bruno Bros. banners.

twojaysmoon.bsky.social•19 days ago

Ty. Good info for people in those areas !

nancylevinestearns.bsky.social•19 days ago

Note: This list is not an endorsement of a company’s ‘goodness,’ political views, or how its DEI initiatives are implemented. It reflects companies’ stated commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion; whether called DEI or Equality and Belonging, etc.

Reminder that Trump has targeted DEI in the private sector. And 19 Republican state attorneys general have demanded that Costco repeal its DEI policies. In the war on DEI, a corporation's stated commitment to DEI is an act of courage and defiance. https://www.forbes.com/sites/dougmelville/2025/01/29/costco-double-downed-on-dei-then-19-attorneys-general-warned-them-to-stop/

"Companies understand if they want to reach consumers of all walks of life...that they need people inside of their company that can speak to those preferences and those orientations. I think companies understand that and will not walk away from good business." #DEI

"Right-wing groups emboldened by the election of President Donald Trump plan to use proxy votes to pressure more than a dozen big US companies, including Apple Inc., McDonald’s Corp. and Coca-Cola Co., to reconsider their DEI programs this year."

So much for the free market they claim to love.

pjsfo.bsky.social•19 days ago

Newsflash to the MAGA AGs:
Costco is a private company. They can do whateverTF they want. Edicts are not laws here.

infrared-menace.bsky.social•19 days ago

Funny how the "free markets rule" crowd always changes their tune when one of us ordinary folk might get a benefit.

You're doing the work of the angels. Thank you, Nancy. 🙏🏽

Among the amount of companies out there this should be a much longer list. Thanks to those who are holding their own.

In a capitalist country, why is the government trying to dictate internal personnel polices of corporations? Of course, trump is bringing in a totalitarian regime. These Republicans want control of everything.

trisresists.bsky.social•19 days ago

ALDI where are you? Have a spine

If you live in an area where you're surrounded by unethical grocery stores, please consider patronizing the local Latino store, African market, Asian store, Halal shop, etc... or similarly independent, minority-owned grocery and convenience stores in your neighborhood.
