Deanne Criswell, the head the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency says she made Equity her priority, then FEMA held DEI training saying the U.S. is rooted in extreme violence and White Supremacy is in almost every institution.

Woke activists hijacked FEMA,

A Thread🧵

Thanks to reporting from Ben Wilson at the Washington @FreeBeacon we know that FEMA held a series of DEI trainings, one of which claimed that the U.S. is rooted in extreme violence, and the established systems in the U.S. require oppression of subjegated people.

In a "Letter from the Administrator" Crisswell said that she wanted to make Equity the "foundation of emergency management.

That means that rather then effectiveness or efficiency in responding to disaster, the focus of disaster relief is "equity."

This is absurd.

This is confirmed by the fact that we have Equity as the foundation of disaster relief being built right into the FEMA strategic plan.

When time is valuable and lives hang in the balance you need to move as fast as you can, there's not time to bean count for equity.

Further, in the strategic plan FEMA says they are going to make sure FEMA's workforce "matches the diversity of the nation." This is impossible without racial hiring quotas, which is what is going to happen (if it hasn't already)

6/
FEMA also says they are going to "determine if FEMA’s workforce demonstrates an increased commitment to integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion in delivering the agency’s mission.

To be clear: FEMA is going to implement DEI when delivering disaster relief.

7/
FEMA is also going to encourage employees to spend their time and resources coming up with more ideas related to Diversity Equity and Inclusion.

As you can see, an incredible amount of time and resources are being sucked up by DEI initiatives at FEMA.

8/
FEMA is also going to streamline support for vulnerable people. This is ok in some cases (IE those with disabilities who need special assistance to live) but FEMA wants to prioritize people who don't speak english over those who do speak english.

This is not acceptable.

9/
IT gets even worse. FEMA is going to "develop and implement an annual equity and civil rights assessment agenda, building on the steps taken in developing the Equity Action Plan."

Which means it wants to bring in an entire civil rights apparatus and Equity Action Plan.

10/
FEMA is supposed to respond to emergencies, and instead they are using their budget to advance the ideological agenda of leftist activists. In the process they are making their response times slower, and their operations less effective.

This is what DEI does everywhere...

11/
It takes over every organization it gets a foothold in and then uses that organization as a vehicle to advance woke ideology.

That is what is happening with FEMA, and we need to figure out how to stop it.
