Before the mods remove this post for being ‚political‘ it’s worth remembering that Artemis‘ goals are DEIA focused and therefore might be changed soon. This could have impacts with relationships with other agencies.
From NASA’s website:
> With the Artemis campaign, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before.

I don’t even see how this is political. It’s an event that’s happening and goes counter to the Artemis projects goals. It’s directly related to space. It seems reasonable to be able to discuss the impact.
Screw letting those whiny ass people cry every time somebody reports on the crap they are pulling.

I work at a different gov agency and the email is 100% cookie cutter. Department heads were likely handed a template to ship out to staff
I’m not suggesting OP is saying this, but my reason for saying this is that Federal employees are doing their job by doing what the president has ordered it. There is no „buying in“. I don’t agree with it, but again, a lot of people are going to be following orders.

Word for word same as the VA memo. Reversed the 2021 executive order I believe.

I’m in shock, my whole life I thought standing for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility was what the good guys stood for. I’m being told this is very similar to former occupied Eastern Europe. I can’t believe this is NASA.

This is a good thing. Discrimination has no place at NASA.
Also, please do not hesitate to report any coworkers that you suspect of being a witch and/or practicing witchcraft.

Nitpick, it’s not „Diversity Erasure“. That’s editorializing by nasa watch. It’s removing programs that push non-colorblind hiring systems. No one here is pushing for some kind of removal of minorities or stoppage of hiring of minorities.

This sort of stuff will make NASA less effective and more error-prone. Creating distrust between employees will mean a culture that does not communicate openly. Cynical careerists will use this to try and eliminate people who are better at their jobs in order to climb the ladder more easily. Plenty of smart people will simply leave the agency out of principle — it will almost certainly cause a brain drain.
And, because we know who owns and runs NASA’s most critical contractors, we can be certain that this sort of anti-diversity nonsense will spread to private aerospace. It will have the same effect there. The industry is almost certain to lose lots of good minds to burnout, pressure, and disgust.
I will not be surprised if the quality of work declines. I will not be surprised if people are hurt or killed because of it — the country’s worst aerospace disasters were caused by leadership that suppressed free communication and created cultures of fear in the rank-and-file. This is more of that.

Doesn’t this belong in r/nasa? Quite the *space* reach, desperate even.

DEIATruth@opm.gov? That is an Orwellian sounding email.
Every federal agency had to send that out today by 5pm, unfortunately. [instructions here](https://chcoc.gov/sites/default/files/OPM%20Memo%20Initial%20Guidance%20Regarding%20DEIA%20Executive%20Orders.pdf)
