A US attempt to stop diversity initiatives in Europe faces backlash.
Efforts by the US government to eliminate diversity initiatives have not been well-received in Europe, after companies in France received a letter saying Trump's rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives could also apply outside the US.
France, Belgium and Spain are pushing back against the letter.
Aira was proud to sponsor the Ability360 USABA Southwest Goalball Tournament.
(A note from Marybai Huking, Aira Team Rep and 2x Paralympic Goalball Medalist)
"As someone who represented Aira at the event (and as a former goalball player myself) this experience was incredibly meaningful on both a personal and professional level.
For me, goalball was more than just a sport. It helped shape how I view independence, self-worth, and possibility.
I’m deeply grateful to work with a company like Aira that not only builds tools for access, but actively invests in the communities we serve. Supporting events like this shows that empowerment doesn’t begin and end with a product. It lives in connection, community, and showing up."
Thank you to Ability360 for an amazing weekend. Aira was proud to be there to connect with, support, and and cheer on athletes from around the country.

"Of all the trends at the fall runway shows, including the uptick in fur (or fur-alike) clothing, the rise of clothing with built-in power curves and the preponderance of black leather, the single most ubiquitous one was the worst: the erosion of size inclusivity.
Ironically, as fashion embraces (and creates) faux womanly figures by design, the actual bodies inside the clothes are shrinking."
