Fort Worth, Texas, weighs DEI programs vs. $277M in federal money. What will it do? FORT WORTH, Texas — The Fort Worth City Council voted Tuesday, June 24, to delay a vote on whether to suspend city programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion and instead instructed city staff to create a plan to sustain such programs. After a two-hour discussion, the council voted 9-2 to find a way to sustain DEI programs such as the city’s Business Equity Ordinance, which promotes contracts between the city and minority- and women-owned business enterprises. Council members Macy Hill and Charlie Lauersdorf voted against the delay. A decision is expected later this summer. The debate followed a June 17 presentation to the council by assistant city manager Dana Burghdoff showing how recent U.S. Supreme Court cases, executive orders by President Donald Trump and directives from federal agencies prohibit the use of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, etc., as criteria for participation in programs and services. The city will have to certify it does not have such DEI programs, even if using non-federal funds for the programs. The city faces a $277 million loss in federal grants affecting 120 city employees and neighborhood services that affect over 18,000 families and 39,000 individuals annually if it does not adhere to the rules. It also risks lawsuits and multiplied damages if its actions are found
