Summary

Federal health workers are alarmed after the “DEI Watch List” website published names, photos, and salaries of employees, mainly Black, labeling them “targets” for involvement in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The conservative American Accountability Foundation runs the site, which has sparked fears of doxxing and intimidation.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently issued memos demanding an end to DEI-related work, escalating paranoia. Some staff have been placed on leave.

      It is difficult. Basically you have to apply. Prove you can contribute to their country/society . Apply and wait. It can take several months to get denied.

      Trying to apply for jobs and get sponsored for a work visa. I don’t have a degree, so it’s kind of my only option.
