The Left is trying to advance laws and programs that create discrimination in America…

…but Judicial Watch is using the legal system and the courts to fight them, and preserve the bedrock American principles of “equal opportunity and protection under the law.”

We are winning…but we need you to join with us!

Can I count on you to make a special tax-deductible gift today?

The ugly fact is that the radical Left wants to divide Americans against each other for their own political gain…divide and rule…but they didn’t count on dealing with Judicial Watch!

As you know, where others talk, Judicial Watch acts…and where it counts...in the courts.

• The City of Asheville (NC) settled a Judicial Watch federal civil rights lawsuit we had filed on behalf of a North Carolina citizens group, NC Citizens for Equality, Inc., seeking to overturn a city-sponsored scholarship program that excluded individuals who were not Black.

Our client’s members included students who were ineligible for this program solely because of their race, so let me be clear…The U.S. Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlaws this discrimination based on race...period.

So the Asheville City Council settled our lawsuit by agreeing to remove all racially discriminatory provisions from the scholarship program, as well as from a related program that provides grants to educators.

This was a clear victory for the rule of law that sets a clear precedent for challenging similar Critical Race Theory discriminatory publicly-funded scholarship programs! 

• We scored another major victory when a California court ruled unconstitutional the state’s racial, ethnic and LGBT quota for corporate boards of directors. The court granted Judicial Watch’s motion for summary judgment in our lawsuit on behalf of three California taxpayers who challenged the constitutionality of this quota

In a ruling that shook the Left and the state’s liberal political establishment to its core, the court agreed with Judicial Watch and ruled this quota unconstitutional under California’s constitution!

• Then another California court delivered another victory to Judicial Watch and another blow to the Left when it struck down a 2018 diversity mandate (SB 826) which required every publicly held corporation headquartered in California to have at least one director “who self-identifies her gender as a woman” on its board by December 31, 2019. This quota law also required corporations to have up to three such persons on their boards by December 31, 2029, depending on the size of its board.

And recently, the California Court of Appeal denied two separate emergency requests by the California Secretary of State to lift the injunctions in these two cases…upholding Judicial Watch’s courtroom victories and the core American value of equal protection under the law!

Judicial Watch’s commitment is to uphold the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law…and that includes our laws against racial discrimination!

But the radical Left’s Marxist commitment to dividing Americans against each other is being played out in many arenas and localities…and that means Judicial Watch must continue to lead the fight against the radical Left on multiple, critically important fronts, including:

• Exposing the use of taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate elementary and high-school students with noxious, Marxist and racist Critical Race Theory (CRT) in more and more states and communities;
• Filing federal civil rights lawsuits on behalf of public school teachers fired from their jobs for exercising their First Amendment free speech rights and criticizing CRT and other extremist programs in their schools;
• Filing friends of the court briefs in support of challenges to race-based admissions programs at both private and public colleges and universities, including Harvard and the University of North Carolina where our arguments prevailed in recent rulings;

You see, all of these efforts…research, investigations, filing federal and state open records law requests, and lawsuits…come with very real price tags attached to them.

But I believe, as I’m sure you do, that our work countering the Left’s efforts to corruptly pit Americans against each other is worth it…

…especially since we are virtually the “only game in town” when it comes to taking on the politicized and weaponized Biden Justice Department, liberal politicians in Congress and state legislatures...plus the corrupt liberal media, who are all working hand-in-glove with the Marxist Left to destroy our laws against discrimination.

So, I deeply hope I can count on you to help us today!

Judicial Watch is your voice in Washington and across the country…perhaps your only independent, conservative and effective voice, and we can do more if you will join our fight today. Thank you in advance for your support!

Sincerely,

Thomas Fitton
President
