You can’t fix discrimination if you erase the data.
Right now, the EEOC is considering rescinding the EEO-1, a long-standing data collection used since the 1960s to track workplace inequality.
This data is crucial for the EEOC to:
📊 see potential patterns of disparities
⚖️ investigate and enforce civil rights laws
💼 have employers examine their practices
📰 produce reports on what’s actually happening in workplaces
Without it, discrimination does not go away. It just becomes harder to prove and easier to ignore.
Enforcement gets weaker. Accountability disappears.
@USEEOC Do not rescind the EEO-1. Keep this data collection in place!
