The ACR Project, for the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation and individual San Francisco taxpayers, has sued California's Health and Human Services Agency, San Francisco, San Francisco USD, and both UC Berkeley and San Francisco, challenging a set of guarantied income programs, which violate the Constitutions of California and the United States (as well as Title VI).
The ACR Project filed an amicus brief, asking the SCOWA to recognize the clear meaning of the Voting Rights Act (and the WVRA), to prevent the self-appointed, English-speaking spokespeople for all "Hispanics" who brought the case from misappropriating the legal protections of their Spanish-speaking relations, and, so, to start the process of assuring that Congress's 1975 VRA amendments actually protect that at-risk population
Today, we submitted an amicus brief to the 6th Circuit, asking the Court of Appeals to affirm the trial court's injunction barring the Biden Administration from implementing faulty "guidance" that the Department of Education and the Chairman of the EEOC had issued to their regulated communities. Those "guidance" documents misread Title IX and Title VII (as well as the Supreme Court's Bostock decision), to require all schools (that receive federal funding) and all employers to allow transgender individuals to use the single-sex bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers provided for the gender with which those individuals identify. Our brief explains how neither the statutes, nor Bostock, do any such thing.

Today, on behalf of the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation, we filed with the Supreme Court an amicus brief on behalf of the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation, supporting Students for Fair Admissions's challenge to race-based admissions programs at Harvard and UNC. Through it, we argue that, recognizing the Constitutional and legal bar against race-based admissions, the Court should bring its jurisprudence back into accord with the mainstream, bipartisan majority of the American people's settled understanding on the subject and end our decades' long departure from equally protecting college applicants.
Today, the ACR Project joined a diverse coalition ofmore than two dozen organizations representing education policy experts, public interest lawyers, civil rights leaders, women, and thousands of parents and concerned citizens in urging the Office of Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education to end its current rulemaking under Title IX. There is no reason to rewrite the Department's Title IX rules now. Nor would there be any legitimate grounds for the Department to displace Congress's legislative role by trying to substantively alter the scope of Title IX through rule-making.
Today, the ACR Project filed with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights and the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Civil Rights and Diversity a complaint concerning a wide array of intentional violations of Title VI by the City of Evanston, Illinois and Northwestern University.
The ACR Project filed an amicus brief with the 9th Circuit. The Court of Appeals should reverse because the District Court wrongly accepted as "exceedingly persuasive" the state's embrace of what precedent rightly calls a "pernicious and offensive" notion -- that women always and everywhere need governmental support to compete. It should also reverse because, over the last 7 years, the Supreme Court has quietly replaced the standard the lower court used with a new, stricter test for gauging the Constitutionality of governments' sex-discriminatory policies when acting as sovereigns.
On behalf of the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation, we filed with the Supreme Court this amicus brief, supporting the petition for certiorari before judgment filed by Students for Fair Admissions. The Court should take up the UNC case along with the Harvard one (whose consideration remains pending). They present a once-a-generation chance to correct previous errors, restore equal protection, and rid America of racial discrimination at both private and public colleges and universities.
