The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) and the City of Santa Fe, New Mexico, filed a lawsuit against AmeriCorps for limiting plaintiffs' program funding as directed by President Trump's executive orders targeting DEI programs, LGBTQ+ communities, and climate change initiatives. AmeriCorps sent plaintiffs a letter stating that all funding would be revoked unless grantees complied with President Trump’s EOs. Plaintiffs argue that the new AmeriCorps conditions violate the separation of powers, the Spending Clause of the Constitution, and the Administrative Procedure Act. Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as an order vacating the AmeriCorps Directive.
