NEW | Lawsuit Aims to Stop the Politicization of Retirement Incomes

WILL filed a lawsuit on behalf of retirement account participants, Rick Braun and Fred Luehrs, against the U.S. Secretary of Labor for a new rule permitting the use of environmental, social, and governance (commonly referred to as “ESG”) factors in retirement investing. 

Imposing ESG factors not only violates the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), which governs the operation of retirement plans and protects the hard-earned savings of millions of employees from mismanagement and abuse, but undermines the authority of Congress.

🗯 WILL Associate Counsel, Kate Spitz, stated, “By injecting highly partisan issues—like climate change and racial justice—into investment strategy, the Biden Administration is jeopardizing the retirement income of over 140 million Americans. Their new rule far exceeds the law and their constitutional authority.”

WILL has recently joined more than 100 organizations and officials in signing a coalition letter to Congress, opposing the 401(k) rule and supporting the congressional effort to overturn it.

🗯 WILL Research Director, Will Flanders, PhD, stated, “WILL is proud to stand strong alongside our partners and stakeholders across Wisconsin to promote school choice for all... Fundamentally, when choice and competition are brought into education, students win.”

INTERVIEW | WILL Suing ATF Rule and Biden Administration

Attorney Tom Grieve sat down with WILL Deputy Counsel, Lucas Vebber, on his channel last week—to discuss how WILL is leading the charge to fight back against the ATF's pistol brace rule.

This video takes a deep dive into the major issues in the lawsuit, timelines, what various rulings will likely mean, and an inside look at all the ins-and-outs of actually suing the ATF and federal government.

🗯 WILL Deputy Counsel, Lucas Vebber, stated, “[Bureaucrats writing laws by fiat] It's something that our firm takes on almost everday—at both the state and federal level—it's all too often... Our constitution was designed to protect liberty through the structural limitations on government power."

Help us stand up for our Second Amendment, defending freedom and our cherished American values during this critical time.

Op-Ed | Segregation Forever

📝 "Our public schools must treat every student fairly, regardless of race, and strive to equip all students for success," wrote WILL Deputy Counsel, Dan Lennington, and Associate Counsel, Cory Brewer, in the American Mind.

For more information on how the Biden Administration is urging states to impose race-based practices in schools, check out this op-ed.

WILL in the News | WILL wins race-based discrimination lawsuit against Comcast’s ‘woke corporate policies’

The Center Square contributor, Benjamin Yount, talked with WILL Deputy Counsel, Dan Lennington, about the recent outcome of this lawsuit.

🗯 “Discrimination is still discrimination regardless if you’re doing it for what you believe are the right reasons.... We believe this is the first settlement or other resolution of a case of race discrimination against a Fortune 500 company for a program they developed in the wake of the summer of 2020. I would say this is the first settlement in a case of woke corporate policies.”

Previously, Christopher Moses—one of WILL’s clients in this suit, who owns a small cleaning company in Indianapolis—told his story to the Wall Street Journal. He is pictured above.
