Impact Fund & Amici Urge Ninth circuit to Affirm The preliminary injunction Blocking Trump Admin From Dismantling Refugee Admissions Program
Last month, the Impact Fund, Justice in Aging, Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, and fellow social justice organizations filed an amicus brief in Pacito v. Trump in the Ninth Circuit. Pacito v. Trump, No. 2:25-cv-2:55 (W.D. Wash.).
On appeal, our amicus brief emphasizes the critical role of refugee resettlement partners in helping older adult refugees adjust to life in the United States.
Impact Fund and Allies File Amicus Brief Urging SCOTUS to Protect LGBTQ Workers
LGBTQ workers are entitled to the full protections of our nation’s laws. If the Supreme Court rules that Title VII does not prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, it will create an arbitrary and painful carve-out to the landmark civil rights law, leaving LGBTQ workers vulnerable to discrimination and harassment on the job. The Impact Fund and our allies urge the Court to adopt a uniform, protective standard that will fulfill Title VII’s promise of equal employment opportunity for all.
