The American Accountability Foundation (AAF), a rightwing non-profit group supported by wealthy family foundations and rightwing organizations, has published a DEI Watch List identifying federal employees linked to diversity initiatives. Among those listed are predominantly Black individuals in health and education roles, sparking fear across government departments. This initiative occurs alongside Donald Trump's administration's efforts to remove DEI elements from the federal system. The AAF's activities reflect broader ideological campaigns against diversity policies, with substantial backing from entities like the Heritage Foundation, aligning with far-right strategies targeting public employees' efforts.
The AAF's diversity target lists have sparked fear among federal workers, exposing a network of wealthy donors and far-right groups orchestrating a campaign against DEI initiatives.
According to Heidi Beirich, the backing from Project 2025 entities indicates a troubling alignment between far-right donors and their campaign against public sector employees.
