The federal government reinstated $6.2 million in funding to LGBTQ+ and HIV organizations following a court victory by nine organizations, including Lambda Legal. Judge Jon S. Tigar ruled that provisions of two executive orders by Donald Trump aimed at restricting funding for diversity and inclusion initiatives, as well as an anti-transgender order, were likely unconstitutional. The ruling allowed for a preliminary injunction against these provisions, restoring the funding while the lawsuit continues. Lambda Legal confirmed that the funds were restored in light of this victory.
Judge Jon S. Tigar ruled June 9 that the groups were likely to succeed in showing that multiple provisions of two of Donald Trump's executive orders against diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and an anti-transgender executive order are unconstitutional.
We have confirmed that our plaintiffs - LGBTQ+ organizations providing critical services to their communities - have seen their threatened funding restored. When we fight, we win.
