American Civil Rights Project and Californians for Equal Rights Foundation Register with California Assembly Our Opposition to ACA 7

Today, the ACR Project joined CFER in formally registering with the California's Assembly our opposition to ACA 7. In the aftermath of the Supreme Court's SFFA decisions, ACA 7 is legally untenable. Because it puts at risk billions in federal funding, it's fiscally irresponsible. And it asks voters to approve the same discrimination they've twice rejected (by accelerating margins) in 25 years.

ACR Project Files Amicus Brief with SCOWA in Redistricting Case

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

ACR Project Files Amicus Brief at 6th Circuit Opposing Administration’s Efforts to Gut Injunction Barring Federal Imposition of Uniform Bathroom, Locker Room, and Shower Policies Across All Schools and Employers

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.

Open Letter for Shareholder to Officers and Directors of Levi Strauss & Co.

Today, on behalf of a concerned Levi's shareholder, the ACR Project demanded that the company publicly retract its illegal, discriminatory training policies. Levi's has chosen to make available to its employees training programs defined by the immutable characteristics of participants (excluding all employees from participation unless they are of -- respectively -- the right race, ethnicity, or sex).  But an employer discriminating in the training it makes available based on race, national origin, and sex violates longstanding federal and state laws.

Open Letter for Shareholders to Officers and Directors of Pfizer, Inc.

Today, on behalf of concerned Pfizer shareholders, the ACR Project demanded that the company publicly retract a set of illegal, discriminatory policies. Those policies inject race, ethnicity, and sex into every level of Pfizer's hiring and promotions, ranging from its summer internships to its top executives and directors. These policies -- admitted on Pfizer's webpage -- violate state and federal laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, and a host of state laws, including those of New York (where Pfizer headquarters) and Delaware (where it incorporated).
