About the #TruthBeTold Campaign: 

AAPF’s #TruthBeTold program was created in the fall of 2020 to counter Donald Trump’s Executive Order 13950 (The “Equity Gag Order”) banning federal agencies, contractors, and grant recipients from conducting trainings that address systemic racism and sexism. Today, even after President Biden revoked this order, the chilling effect on combating racism continues through a coordinated, well-funded offensive to enact state laws mirroring the Equity Gag Order. The #TruthBeTold Campaign mobilizes a collaborative, coalitional response to these new, metastasized gag orders and bans. Programmatic activities include organizing convenings, conducting trainings, developing research, analysis and policy recommendations, building networks of allied organizations and influencers, and maintaining a dynamic social media approach to leverage influential legal, educational and cultural workers.
