Stop Imposing Woke Ideology Abroad Act

This bill would stop the State Department from spending any federal money on its Special Representative for Racial Equity and Justice and from carrying out the department’s Equity Action Plan. It would take effect as soon as it becomes law, cutting off funding for the position and for activities under that plan. The special representative’s role is to lead efforts to combat systemic racism and discrimination around the world, and the Equity Action Plan lays out actions and measures to address equity in the State Department’s foreign affairs work.

In everyday terms, this means the State Department could no longer pay for that office or move forward with equity-focused steps in its international work if this becomes law.

• Who is affected: The State Department, including the Special Representative for Racial Equity and Justice and programs tied to the Equity Action Plan.
• What changes: Federal funds could not be used for the special representative’s salary or expenses, or to implement the Equity Action Plan.
• When: Starting on the date the bill becomes law.
