In a troubling turn, Amazon has quietly removed several of its public commitments to equity for Black employees and LGBTQ+ rights. These changes, made without fanfare, include scrapping pledges to support gender-affirming care and protections for transgender workers, as well as policies addressing systemic racism.
Previously, Amazon highlighted its efforts to combat racial bias and support anti-discrimination legislation. It also provided detailed outlines of transgender health care benefits. These pages have now vanished, replaced by vague language around “inclusive experiences and technology.”
A company spokesperson explained the updates as routine, but this shift mirrors a growing trend among U.S. corporations. In the past year, companies like Meta, McDonald’s, and Ford have scaled back Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs under pressure from conservative voices.
For many in the queer and Black communities, these rollbacks feel like erasures of hard-won progress. Amazon, a frequent participant in Pride events, now risks alienating marginalized workers and allies by stepping away from its previous commitments.
As conservative forces continue to push back on equity initiatives, the question remains: how will companies like Amazon rebuild trust with the communities they claim to serve?
