The County of Erie in New York sued the Trump administration for its decision to terminate a Retired and Senior Volunteer Program grant, which funded hundreds of senior volunteers in positions across the community, including at food pantries, hospitals, schools, and senior centers. Americorps approved the three-year grant in January 2024. However, in compliance with Executive Orders 14151 and 14173, the Trump administration threatened Erie County with terminating its grant unless the County certified that it did not operate any programs promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
On April 14, 2025, plaintiffs filed a Notice of Voluntarily Dismissal after Americorps withdrew its certification requirement.
