Dear Supporters,
At the Center for Equal Opportunity, our mission is not just to defend the principles of equal opportunity, colorblindness, and merit—it is to actively drive the national conversation. Our latest broadside comes today in The Washington Post, where CEO Founder and Chairman Linda Chavez tackles a critical question facing the movement.
In her letter, “What should drive civil rights law enforcement?” Linda takes direct aim at federal agencies that have strayed from their core statutory mandates. She makes the compelling case that civil rights enforcement must return to its foundational principle: protecting individual rights regardless of race, rather than enforcing group outcome preferences or identity-based metrics.
The Washington Post also published commentary today by veteran civil rights attorney Hans Bader—a longtime friend and supporter of CEO—further bolstering the legal argument against government-mandated racial preferences.
This latest commentary follows The Washington Post’s major feature examining federal civil rights enforcement and illegal DEI initiatives, which quoted CEO General Counsel Shawna Bray on the legal standards governing workplace discrimination. You can read that feature, Why Trump’s EEOC wants to talk to White men about discrimination.
Whether through high-profile media features, key federal court filings, or national policy commentary, CEO is setting the agenda and leading the fight for colorblind equal opportunity.
You can read Linda Chavez and Hans Bader’s comments published today directly in The Washington Post.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support as we continue to lead this crucial work.
Sincerely,
Rudy Gersten
Executive Director
