The Michigan Senate has introduced a resolution affirming the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as foundational principles for achieving the American Dream. The resolution emphasizes that the American Dream should be accessible to all individuals, not just a select few, and that DEI policies are essential for fostering opportunity, prosperity, and upward mobility. It highlights the historical significance of DEI in American civil rights legislation, such as the 19th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which have aimed to ensure equal access to education, economic opportunities, and civil rights for all citizens.

Furthermore, the resolution calls on local, state, and federal policymakers, as well as educational institutions and workplaces, to adopt and uphold DEI principles. It argues that such policies can enhance productivity, innovation, and overall societal satisfaction by removing barriers to opportunity and promoting inclusivity. The resolution also underscores the importance of protecting freedom of expression and warns against any attempts to limit DEI-informed policies, which could undermine the diversity of perspectives that strengthen society. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key government leaders to promote awareness and action on these principles.
