This #NationalHigherEducationDay we celebrate this week’s win in court on behalf of educators and students to block the Trump administration's attempts to dismantle the Department of Education. We’ll never stop fighting - because an attack on education is an attack on democracy.

Our new lawsuit makes clear: No president—past or present—can buy their way out of the Constitution to disappear people behind a paywall of impunity.

(1/2) Today, alongside @democracyforward.org, @nacdl.org, @immdef.bsky.social, Immigration Equality, and @ccijustice.bsky.social, we filed a lawsuit to block the the Trump administration's black site agreement w/ El Salvador to disappear people into El Salvador's prison system without due process.

Hundreds of men are sitting in an El Salvadorian prison widely known for torturing people. The Trump administration cannot disappear people without due process. They cannot use American taxpayer dollars to outsource human rights violations. We will see them in court.

The Trump-Vance administration canceled hundreds of grants that provide funds for evidence-based programs that save lives, reduce violence, and keep communities safe. We're proud to represent a coalition of nonprofit and community organizations nationwide challenging these devastating terminations.

It's clear: the Trump-Vance administration is caving to its anti-abortion allies and breaking President Trump’s campaign promises. Everyone deserves the right to access necessary emergency medical care. We’ll use every legal tool to defend reproductive freedom.

We have filed over 70 legal actions against the Trump-Vance administration and we're not slowing down. Judges nominated by both Republican and Democratic presidents have ruled against the administration's lawlessness. We'll continue to prove that in court.

Because of our lawsuit against the Trump administration, the government recognized it cannot unilaterally defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This is a big win that will allow the CFPB to continue protecting millions of American consumers from fraud and deceptive debt traps.

The Trump administration won't stick up for minority- and women-owned businesses, so we will. This coalition intervened in this case because of what’s at stake — not just for these businesses, but for the longstanding principles of redressing past discrimination in our economy.
