NBC News reported that DOJ Pride, the LGBTQ+ employee resource group at the Department of Justice, has officially ceased operations – after 3 decades!
The group, founded in 1994, sent an email to its members stating that it would shut down "for the protection of all members" during this uncertain time.
DOJ Pride had provided crucial support and a safe space for LGBTQ+ employees within the department.
Many federal employees now fear retaliation, as this move echoes past eras when LGBTQ+ workers faced discrimination. The broader impact on other federal employee groups remains uncertain. More here from our friends at NBCOut.com
