We still have disability protections. The EEOC? The ADA title I?

DEI never gave legal protections for anything. It was/is a mindset that encourages people to advocate for the better implementation of these principles (like universal design vs accessible design). It wasn’t a law. Our rights as disabled people have been legally protected in employment for 35 years and that hasn’t stopped.
