Democrats turn their DEI strategy toward Muslim voters

The Black Lives Matter summer of 2020 sent the Democratic Party into a diversity, equity, and inclusion tailspin. The party’s full turn toward supporting a Palestinian state has since redirected the DEI strategy toward Muslims.

Massachusetts Democrats are reviving a bill to establish a Muslim commission that would, according to Newsweek, “advise state leaders on issues affecting Muslim Americans, including education, health care, employment and civil rights” and “study Islamophobia and recommend ways Massachusetts could respond to anti-Muslim hate.” The proposed commission would sit alongside others, including, according to a Democratic state senator, the “commissions serving Asian-American, black and LGBTQ residents.”
