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.

Where others talk, Judicial Watch acts…and we act where it counts...in the courts.

We are 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. 

And if you want us to continue to successfully fight against the radical Left and strike down laws that undermine the bedrock American principles of “equal opportunity and protection under the laws,” then I ask you to join with us and make generous tax-deductible gift today.

The ugly fact is that the radical Left wants to divide Americans against each other for their own political gain.

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

Last year, 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….

…a clear victory for the rule of law that sets a clear precedent for challenging similarly discriminatory publicly-funded scholarship programs!

But, there’s more…

In April, 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.

This ruling shook the Left and the state’s liberal political establishment to its core!

Then in May, another California court delivered yet 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.

So, just 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.

The California Secretary of State appealed both rulings…and in December, the California Court of Appeals upheld both rulings…two more courtroom victories for Judicial Watch!

If you support our continued litigation to stand firm for the principle of “equal opportunity and protection under the law” and against illegal discrimination, then I urge you to join the Judicial Watch team and make a special contribution today.

The Left’s commitment to dividing Americans against each other is playing out in many arenas …and that means Judicial Watch must continue to fight them on multiple fronts, including:

• Exposing the use of taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate elementary and high-school students with noxious, Marxist and racist Critical Race Theory (CRT);
• 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 recently won a great settlement victory on behalf of one of our teacher clients in Massachusetts);
• Filing a lawsuit on behalf of a Minneapolis taxpayer over a teachers’ contract that provides discriminatory job protections to certain racial minorities.
• Filing friends of the court briefs in support of challenges to race-based admissionsprograms at both private and public colleges and universities.

All these efforts…research, investigations, filing federal and state open records law requests, and lawsuits…come with very real price tags attached. 

Our caseload has never been more important, and it seems we are confronted with increasingly dangerous radical assaults on the rule of law that only Judicial Watch has the ability to counter through our legal system.

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, and we can do more if you will help us today. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Tom Fitton

President
