/1🚨We just filed a class-action lawsuit against insurance giant @progressive — the 3rd largest insurer in the United States — for allegedly engaging in illegal racial discrimination.

Read about Progressive’s racism:
/2 Progressive is offering $25,000 grants to ten “black-owned small businesses to use toward the purchase of a commercial vehicle.”

Image
Image
Image
/3 Progressive does not allow businesses owned by members of other races to even apply for these grants, and AFL’s client was barred from applying for this grant simply because he is not black.

Read about it in our lawsuit below: Image
/4 Progressive unlawfully offered these contractual benefits only to black-owned small businesses — a patent violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981, which outlaws all forms of racial discrimination in the making of contracts. Image
/5 Circular Board LLC operates an online resource platform called Hello Alice, which allegedly conspired and partnered with Progressive in administering these facially racially discriminatory grants. Image
/6 Based on this patently illegal program, it should come as no surprise that Progressive is also engaged in illegal DEI policies and racial quotas. Image
/7 Progressive also has companywide “Courageous Conversations and Dare to Disagree programs and a DEI Speakers Bureau.” Image
/8 Progressive has a wide range of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) – but only for specific demographics – notably excluding a group for White, male employees. Image
/9 Progressive proudly brags about its employee representation by race and ethnicity on their website and their plan to increase “representation of women and people of color in management.”
Image
Image
/10 In July of 2022, AFL filed a class-action lawsuit against Amazon over its racially discriminatory delivery service partners program, which awards a $10,000 bonus to partners who are not White.
/11 So next time you see an @ItsFlo advertisement, you should remember that Progressive is engaged in a disturbing pattern of racial discrimination.
@ItsFlo /12 We are proud to continue fighting for equal opportunity under the law and hold Progressive accountable.

/1🔎NEW — AFL has expanded its investigation into the City of Portland and the Portland Police Bureau.

We’re examining the bureau’s involvement with anti-ICE groups and Antifa — and whether it let radical demonstrators disrupt ICE operations, assault reporters, or shield Antifa. Image
/2 AFL has requested records to uncover how Portland officials may have enabled lawlessness — including by assisting anti-ICE groups in acquiring office space.
/3 This expands AFL’s ongoing investigation into the City of Portland, which previously uncovered its explicit inclusion of race as a central component of the city’s policing practices to achieve “equitable outcomes.”

/1🚨EXPOSED — New documents reveal that after Hamas terrorists’ October 7 attack, Biden’s DOJ DOWNPLAYED the surge in antisemitism across America — while giving the SPLC an OPEN LINE to steer federal civil-rights policy away from policing antisemitic violence. Image
/2 BEFORE OCTOBER 7, 2023:

Combating antisemitic violence was on DOJ’s agenda.

In December 2022, it was listed on the event memo for the Deputy Attorney General’s “Quarterly Civil Rights Organization Meeting,” lumped in with “Anti-LGBTQ+ Violence.” Image
/3 The agenda for the 2022 meeting included addressing “White Supremacy in Law Enforcement,” in addition to “Anti-LGBTQ+ Hate” and the SPLC’s perspective on hate crimes data. Image

/1🚨BREAKING — Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis didn’t dismantle its illegal “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” regime. 

Instead, they hid their DEI office on a restricted floor.

America First Legal found it.

🧵…. Image
/2 The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, once on the 1st floor of the North Medical Building — open and visible to the public — has been moved to the 12th floor of the Mid Campus Center, a restricted-access floor omitted from the university’s official floor plan. Image
/3 An office built on “equity and inclusion” now operates behind locked doors, inaccessible to the public, the students, and the community it claims to represent.

We’d ask what WashU is hiding — but we already know. Image

/1🚨HUGE — The University of Virginia has agreed to DISMANTLE its illegal DEI infrastructure following a months-long federal civil rights investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and a federal civil rights complaint from America First Legal. Image
/2 The agreement requires UVA to end race-, sex-, and identity-based discrimination across its operations, report compliance data through 2028, and certify in writing quarterly that every department is in full compliance with federal civil rights laws.
/3 This action follows AFL’s extensive investigation and subsequent federal civil rights complaint calling for enforcement against UVA’s discriminatory practices.

AFL exposed UVA’s unlawful attempts to preserve and rebrand DEI under euphemisms, proving the university’s so-called “reforms” were cosmetic.

/1🚨ELECTION INTEGRITY WIN🚨

Texas just discovered THOUSANDS of potential noncitizens on its voter rolls and launched a statewide verification process to remove ineligible voters.

This is exactly what AFL’s Election Integrity Action Plan urged states to do last year.

🧵👇 Image
/2 Last year, AFL sent an Election Integrity Action Plan to all 50 states — a roadmap explaining how to use existing federal law to verify citizenship.

Under 8 U.S.C. §§ 1373 and 1644, states can work with the Department of Homeland Security to confirm a voter’s citizenship.
/3 Using tools outlined in AFL’s Election Integrity Action Plan, Texas cross-checked state voter data against federal immigration records — and found over 2,700 potential noncitizens registered to vote.

/1🏛️NEW BRIEF —

AFL filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule Humphrey’s Executor and uphold President Trump’s constitutional authority to direct and remove executive officials. Image
/2 AFL, in partnership with Mitchell Law PLLC, filed a brief in Trump v. Slaughter, asking the Court to restore the President’s constitutional control of the Executive Branch.
/3 For nearly ninety years, the Court’s 1935 decision in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States (Humphrey’s Executor) has stripped presidents of control over so-called “independent” agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) — allowing unelected bureaucrats to wield executive power without accountability to the American people.
