I feel like the statement that the layoffs "were carried out through an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens" puts a target on the backs of the people who you claim to be helping.
If you're affected by layoffs described this way, you then question whether that was because of who you are.
That then makes it harder for the minorities you claim to be "helping" to stay in the room anywhere else because of bad will generated by some company that wanted the headlines to include their diversity push.
Edit: In summation, do not conflate your layoffs with your "diversity".
