[Judicial Watch]

Dear Judicial Watch Member,

Your Judicial Watch is on a winning streak in the courts striking down
radical Leftist laws that discriminate based on race, gender,
ethnicity, and sexual orientation.

And I need to know YES or NO...will you give your support to Judicial
Watch, so that we can continue to fight to stop the Left from
undermining our bedrock American principles of “_equal_
_opportunity” and “equal protection under the law?”_

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

I’m pleased to report that your Judicial Watch is rolling up
important victories against the radical Left’s attempt to advance
programs and laws that create discrimination in America…
discrimination based on race, on gender, on ethnicity, on sexual
orientation.

Why? So that they can divide Americans against each other for their
own politicalgain.

But the Left didn’t count on having to deal with Judicial Watch, so
let me quickly recap for you three of our victories this year in this
important area of our work…

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

And 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…a clear victory for the rule of law!

IN APRIL, your Judicial Watch 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 scheme.

We argued that “_LAWS THAT EXPLICITLY DISTINGUISH BETWEEN
INDIVIDUALS ON RACIAL OR __ETHNIC, SEXUAL PREFERENCE, OR TRANSGENDER
STATUS GROUNDS FALL WITHIN THE CORE OF THE PROHIBITION OF THE EQUAL
PROTECTION CLAUSE.”_

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

THEN IN MAY, another California court delivered another victory to
Judicial Watch and another blow to the Left when it struck down a 2018
diversity mandate (Senate Bill 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.

After a 28-day trial, the judge in this case agreed with Judicial
Watch lawyers (who had again sued the state’s Attorney General on
behalf of three California taxpayers) and “_determine[d] that SB 826
violates the Equal Protection Clause of the California Constitution
and is thus enjoined.”_

So, just a few weeks apart, Judicial Watch lawyers persuaded two
California courts that two different quota schemes were
unconstitutional and delivered two stinging defeats to the radical
Left’s unprecedented attacks on anti-discrimination.

AND OUR EARLIER SETTLEMENT IN NORTH CAROLINA SUCCESSFULLY REASSERTED
THE PRINCIPLE THAT DISCRIMINATION BASED ON RACE AGAINST ANY RACIAL
GROUP IS IMPERMISSIBLE.

So I need to know if you support our continued investigations and
litigation to stand firm _for_ the principle of “equal opportunity
and protection under the law” and _against_ illegal discrimination.

As a conservative, you know that 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 Watching 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 (we just won when we reached a settlement on behalf of
one of our teacher clients in Massachusetts);
* 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 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.

We want to keep on winning for your values as we seek to educate
Americans about corruption of the rule of law by the radical
Left…but we need you to help us
