EPA employees in the Biden-era Era spend their hours implementing diversity and inclusion [DEI] According to internal agency documents and communications, especially policies throughout the agency – especially in the “get out” bathroom, hire more gay and transgender employees and introduce new gender-neutral honors such as “MX.”, according to internal agency documents and communications Washington Free Beacon.

Under the leadership of Michael Regan, then-EPA administrator, the agency created a staff-led “DEIA Implementation Team” in 2021 that has the authority to establish a working group and take actions related to DEI.
According to Biden EPA, the goal is to “embed” agencies within the scope of DEI, create “cultural change” and use the agency as a DEI model for the entire federal government.
EPA documents were first obtained by the Oversight Organization Functional Government Initiative and with Free beacon –show EPA's DEI program is largely coordinated by LGBTQIA+ Workgroup, an initiative that reports to senior leadership.
Members of the task force include scientists, environmental protection experts, engineers, plant pathologists, climate policy analysts, lawyers-consultants and research ethicists.
These documents are the latest evidence of DEI's efforts in the EPA and throughout the Biden administration.
Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign aims to work, and on his first day of his tenure, Trump signed an executive order to remove all existing taxpayer-funded DEI initiatives and DEI offices.
“The public release of these plans has been proven Huge public waste and shameful discrimination,The order says.
The agency's DEI program could cost taxpayers millions of dollars in man hours. EPA employees earn an average of $102,489, 42.9% higher than the national average for government employees Although officials who are known to participate [DEI] The proposed payment is as high as $168,400 based on the compensation for public salaries.
“In the Biden era, Americans suffered a crisis after the crisis, many of whom — illegal immigration, severe COVID-19 measures and skyrocketing fuel costs, were made by the president themselves.” Free beacon.
“But what is the focus of the government? The false crisis of inequality, racism and “transphobia” can only be solved by wasting a lot of resources and wasting a lot of divisive plans.”
“Unfortunately, the EPA is not alone: with the encouragement of the government, corruption leaps in the federal government.” “It's not the president's leadership, it's the government's dysfunction.”
Meanwhile, the EPA's LGBTQIA+ working group outlined DEI-related activities at a summit in September 2023, hosted by the left-wing group and equal.
According to the slideshow of its speech, Free beaconthe group’s best advice for EPA is “DEGENDER” toilet and locker room access, increasing voluntary self-disclosure of participation in sexual orientation and gender identity, incorporating LGBTQIA+ potential employees into recruitment activities, adding gender pronouns to email signatures, and changing the internal style manual requirements for gender authorization.
Working Groups pointed out in the speech It meets weekly to make recommendations and informs EPA leaders in 2023 that it will not sunset as originally planned and will continue to meet.
The group achieved many goals: Among the 118 facilities in the EPA, the group said Due to its work, the number of gender-neutral restrooms and gender-neutral locker rooms in the agency expanded to 140 and 15, respectively.
Biden EPA also promises Build all-gender restrooms in future architectural renovations, continue to remodel existing restrooms and replace male/female signage on existing disposable restrooms and use more inclusive signs.
The EPA Working Group added If it is resistant to changes internally, it will “educate contractors and EPA employees why they need these changes.”
Additionally, due to the advocacy of the task force, the EPA added pronouns to emails targeting specific offices where people used expanded training to “wrong gender” and released an October 2023 memorandum written by then-in charge administrator Janet McCabe, allowing employees to allow their preference honors to choose “MX”. Instead of “sir” or “wife”
“This update also includes some very important improvements that will help increase diversity, equity, inclusion [DEI]McCabe wrote in the memo.
However, since Trump took office, the EPA has been trapped in DEI and related environmental justice activities.
For example, administrator Lee Zeldin announced The agency has canceled millions of dollars in DEI spending and awarded 171 DEI and environmental justice employees on administrative leave.
