12:36Now PlayingPhiladelphia’s DEI rollback isn’t just policy—it’s a direct hit on 40 years of equity gains and a warning shot for Black economic power nationwide.
Philadelphia’s mayor has abandoned longstanding DEI contracting goals, dissolving nearly four decades of safeguards meant to ensure minority, women, and disabled-owned businesses received fair access to city contracts.

They argue the rollback represents not only political retreat, but a direct attack on Black economic power.
