The Future of DEI: The Case of the Fearless Fund
In March 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order scaling back federal DEI initiatives, signaling a major turning point in the national conversation around race-conscious policies in the workplace.
This Regulatory Transparency Project’s latest short film revisits American Alliance for Equal Rights v. Fearless Fund, a case challenging a race-based grant program under Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866.
Featuring legal scholars, civil rights attorneys, and policy experts from across the ideological spectrum, this documentary explores the origins of DEI policies and asks whether these initiatives are a necessary path to equality — or an obstacle to it?
