House Joint Resolution 111, sponsored by Miller, addresses the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs within American corporations. The resolution asserts that recent criticisms labeling DEI initiatives as "radical and wasteful" are unfounded and highlights the historical significance of DEI policies in promoting equal access to opportunities and fostering an inclusive environment. It emphasizes that DEI is essential for creating a society where all individuals are valued and can participate fully, and that companies embracing DEI tend to operate more efficiently and humanely.
The resolution concludes by stating that corporations that discontinue their DEI programs are likely to experience negative impacts on their revenues, as consumers may choose to support businesses that prioritize DEI principles. It urges all American corporations and institutions to uphold DEI values, which include promoting inclusivity, protecting freedom of expression, and ensuring equitable opportunities for all individuals.
