/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🚨BREAKING — AFL just filed a new lawsuit against HHS and CMS to expose the architects behind a Biden-era organ transplant policy that financially rewards higher transplant volume and prioritizes race in transplant decisions. Image
/2 Last week, AFL filed a lawsuit to determine who within the Biden Administration was behind its race-based organ transplant policy.

This new lawsuit seeks to uncover the outside influencers who shaped the program, and why.
/3 The lawsuit targets the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for failing to produce records tied to a federal transplant program that rewards hospitals for increasing kidney transplant volume and embeds race into the process.

/1🚨VICTORY — AFL DEFEATED Maricopa County’s attempt to hijack County Recorder Justin Heap’s election integrity lawsuit and block us from representing him.

An Arizona court fully rejected the blatant power grab.

Our lawsuit against Maricopa County will now proceed. Image
/2 After Recorder Heap chose AFL to represent him in a lawsuit against the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell filed another lawsuit against him, claiming that she had the right to select his attorney, and she did not want AFL to represent him.
/3 In its ruling, the Maricopa County Superior Court held that Arizona law does not give the county attorney authority to control a county officer’s legal representation.

/1🚨VICTORY — AFL has BROKEN Nashville’s years-long stonewalling over the Covenant School shooter’s “manifesto.”

A Tennessee appeals court REJECTED Nashville’s attempt to withhold records related to the shooting and keep the public in the dark. Image
/2 The ruling from the Court of Appeals of Tennessee at Nashville reverses most of a lower court decision that allowed the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (Metro) to withhold the shooter’s “manifesto” in full.
/3 The court’s ruling made clear that government agencies cannot rely on sweeping legal theories to justify total secrecy, and must instead conduct a record-by-record review, redacting only what is lawfully protected and releasing the rest under Tennessee’s Public Records Act.

/1🏛️NEW SCOTUS BRIEF — 

AFL filed a brief on behalf of @tedcruz, @Jim_Jordan, and 26 members of Congress urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship and restore the Fourteenth Amendment’s original meaning. Image
/2 AFL’s brief, filed in partnership with Boyden Gray PLLC, supports President Trump’s Executive Order 14160, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.”
/3 Executive Order 14160 restores the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which the lower courts wrongly blocked by expanding birthright citizenship beyond what the U.S. Constitution allows.

/1🏛️NEW SCOTUS BRIEF —

AFL filed a new amicus brief after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Noem v. Al Otro Lado, a major case on whether courts can rewrite federal immigration law and block critical border security tools.

SCOTUS must reverse the Ninth Circuit’s ruling. Image
/2 AFL’s brief, filed with Boyden Gray PLLC, on behalf of U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa and U.S. Senators Ted Cruz, Ted Budd, Mike Lee, Kevin Cramer, and Josh Hawley, urges SCOTUS to reverse the Ninth Circuit’s ruling on the merits and stop a decision that would cripple border security.
/3 The Supreme Court’s decision to take the case puts this dispute on the main stage.
