Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson has become the latest manufacturer to drop diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives amid sustained pressure from anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck.

In a statement Monday, the Milwaukee-based company said it has not operated a corporate DEI function since April, no longer has minority-owned supplier goals and plans to exit socially motivated training for employees.

Harley-Davidson’s statement, posted on X, said that it sees “every leader’s role to ensure we have an employee base that reflects our customers and the geographies in which we operate” – and the company would limit training to legal requirements.

    Judging by the damage to my helmet I would not be typing right now if I didn’t roll out in full gear every time.

        Nope, no new bike either though. Between being out of work for 6 months for physical recuperation and the mental toll it took on me it’s taking a long time to bounce back financially. Doubly so with rent sucking my soul out on top of it.
