The Salvation Army Doesn't Need "DEI," It Just Needs To Be Itself

“We meet human needs without discrimination,” the Salvation Army website declares. This simple yet profound mission, rooted in the Christian Gospel, has propelled the Salvation Army to serve millions of Americans in need for over a century through a wide variety of programs that combat homelessness, hunger, addiction, and other forms of suffering. The Salvation Army’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives add nothing positive to this incredibly important work. At worst, DEI will only hinder the Salvation Army’s mission.
