Five years after the 2020 racial justice protests, the U.S. has seen changes that fall short of activists' hopes. A backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, while noted by some, lacks strong evidence, as shown by polls indicating public support for DEI efforts. Despite the surge in proposed reforms, progress in police reform has stagnated, with cities raising police budgets rather than cutting them. The constant issue of police violence and systemic inequity remains pressing, suggesting that future protests could emerge in response to ongoing injustices.
"While the protests of 2020 led to the drafting of thousands of reform bills in state legislatures across the country, momentum has long since stalled."
"CBS poll in October found 64% of Americans agreeing efforts to promote racial diversity and equality were going either about right or not far enough."
