Recent high profile court decisions energized a movement against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, spurring activists to bring a range of challenges against DEI initiatives. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down race-based affirmative action in higher education in its 2023 Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) decision. While SFFA addressed DEI in education, many of the post-SFFA challenges have happened outside of that context and could potentially impact community action agencies (CAAs). In one such legal challenge, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit (Eleventh Circuit) ruled against an organization operating a grant contest that awarded grants solely to Black women. Although the legal DEI landscape is in flux, CAAs can act now to hopefully continue the work that supports their diverse communities.
