A public health advocacy group has raised concerns about a recently launched 'DEI Watchlist' by a conservative organization aimed at identifying federal workers who may not align with President Donald Trump's agenda. The list, created by the American Accountability Foundation, claims to be 'exposing the unelected career staff driving radical Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the federal government.'
The DEI Watchlist includes 'dossiers' with names, photos, some salaries, and other details of at least 57 federal employees, many of whom are employed at public health agencies under the US Department of Health and Human Services. A significant number of the individuals listed are women and Black people.
