At Democracy Forward, we have filed over 70 legal actions since President Trump's inauguration to protect the American people’s rights.
We are in court every day on behalf of people in red states and blue states, in urban areas and rural communities, and of all ideologies and identities.

Information is power. And as this administration continues to try and shut down agencies and fire experts across government, FOIA is more critical than ever.
We remain committed to pursuing accountability.

The Trump administration has attempted to block this transparency, like they did at USIP.
But a federal court declared DOGE’s dismantling of USIP’s FOIA office to be “null, void, and without legal effect.”

Here's some background.
🔍 FOIA is a critical tool used to ensure transparency between the government and the American people.
📄Our team has filed nearly 1,000 FOIA requests to power our investigations into some of the most pressing crises — from mass firings of civil servants to abuses of power.

A federal judge blocked the plan — and on Friday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that decision.
The admin cannot move forward with their plans to dismantle federal agencies while the case proceeds.

The administration tried to reorganize the federal government by executive order — shuttering agencies, laying off workers, and centralizing power.
That’s unconstitutional. So we took them to court.
