Over a dozen Republican attorneys general are calling on Costco to ditch its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

The effort, spearheaded by 19 attorneys general, demands Costco “follow the law and end its woke DEI policies,” according to a Monday press release. The letter follows reports of Costco shareholders rejecting a proposal to evaluate any risks associated with keeping its DEI policies in place.

The letter was signed by Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, among other attorneys general.

“It’s time to ditch DEI,” Bird said in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. “While other companies right the ship and abandon their illegal, woke policies, Costco has doubled down. I’m putting Costco on notice to do the right thing and eliminate discriminatory DEI. No American should be denied an opportunity because they don’t fit the woke mold.”

A slew of American companies have moved to roll back their DEI-related policies amid intense backlash and mounting pressure from consumers and conservative groups. Boeing, Target and Walmart are among the firms to throw the policies overboard.

“Just as President Trump is thankfully putting an end to odious DEI policies in government, it is important that the public sector follow suit and put an end to these discriminatory practices,” Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said in a statement shared with the DCNF. “Costco should live up to its motto and ‘do the right thing’ by doing away with race-based preferences.”

President Donald Trump has been an outspoken critic of DEI initiatives and “woke” ideology. Shortly after returning to the Oval Office on Jan. 20, Trump issued an executive order aimed at overturning DEI policies in the government, calling them “radical and wasteful.”

“Although Costco’s motto is ‘do the right thing,’ it appears that the company is doing the wrong thing — clinging to DEI policies that courts and businesses have rejected as illegal,” the letter says. “Costco should treat every person equally and based on their merit, rather than based on divisive and discriminatory DEI practices.”

Costco did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.
