Fort Worth council to decide on halting diversity programs

DALLAS, Texas– Fort Worth City Council will vote on a resolution to suspend the city’s diversity and inclusion programs amid concerns over federal funding requirements.

The proposed resolution includes suspending the city’s diversity and inclusion department, dissolving the business equity ordinance, and halting economic incentives for minority- and women-owned businesses.

The move is a response to federal orders linked to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which could affect the city’s eligibility for $277.1 million in federal funds.

City officials say the resolution aims to secure federal grants critical for ongoing projects and services. They emphasize the financial urgency behind halting certain DEI programs to comply with federal mandates. Without compliance, the city risks losing substantial federal funding, which could disrupt multiple sectors and city operations.

The proposal has sparked debate among City Council members. Some argue that securing federal funding is essential to maintain city services and development. Others express concern that suspending inclusion programs could harm community trust and negatively impact local minority- and women-owned businesses that benefit from these initiatives.

Several councilors are calling for alternative approaches that meet federal requirements while preserving the city’s commitment to diversity and equity. Community groups and residents are closely following the council’s decision, reflecting mixed reactions that balance financial concerns with the value of inclusive policies.
