.@NationalCenter "submitted the majority of the anti-DEI shareholder proposals in 2025," and while DEI advocates will point out those proposals failed to pass, "the data shows that is ... just business as usual." @JonMcGowanFL via @Forbes forbes.com/sites/jonmcgow…

.@FreeEntProject Assoc. Bennett Nuss argues "the line of attack that @AGAndrewBailey is using in a complaint against Starbucks’s DEI programs" may provide a blueprint for other actions "even if this specific case is thrown out on procedural grounds." nationalcenter.org/ncppr/2025/07/…
