More on DoorDash
See all โDoorDash softened its DEI stance in 2025, dropping specific program descriptions and numeric diversity targets from its annual filings while keeping general diversity language. Shifted from "target-based" to "holistic" approach. Still maintains ERGs and inclusion language on careers site, but stopped outlining specific DEI programs โ occupying a middle ground between full rollback and commitment.
DoorDash donated $1 million to Trump's 2025 inaugural fund. The company also spent $60M+ on California's Prop 22 campaign in 2020 to maintain contractor classification for Dashers. CEO Tony Xu has not made explicit partisan endorsements, but the company's political spending has consistently aligned with deregulatory priorities that protect its gig economy business model.
