Signed letter demanding Costco end DEI policies

A group of Republican attorneys general are demanding Costco end all of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies as a plethora of other retailers drop their programs.

In a letter to the wholesale store, the 19 Republicans demand Costco repeal their DEI policies within the next 30 days. If not, the company must provide an explanation as to why. The GOP officials, led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, argue the company’s DEI policies
