/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:
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.”
/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:
Read about it in our lawsuit below:
/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.
/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.
/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.
/7 Progressive also has companywide “Courageous Conversations and Dare to Disagree programs and a DEI Speakers Bureau.”
/8 Progressive has a wide range of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) – but only for specific demographics – notably excluding a group for White, male employees.
/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.”
/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.
