San Francisco AIDS Foundation v. Trump
Multiple LGBTQ, Health, and HIV organizations sued the Trump Administration represented by Lambda Legal challenging three executive orders that together seek to erase transgender people from public life, defund the organizations that provide them with life-saving services, and terminate equity-related grants essential to the health and lives of other underserved communities, including communities of color, and people living with HIV.
Filed by Lambda Legal, the lawsuit challenges Trump’s executive order no. 14168, which repudiates the very existence of transgender people and prohibits federal contractors and grantees from recognizing and respecting their identities or advocating for their civil rights. The lawsuit also challenges executive orders no. 14151 and 14173, which terminate equity-related grants and prohibit federal contractors and grantees from employing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility principles in their work.
- February 20, 2025: Lambda Legal filed a federal lawsuit challenging three anti-equity executive orders from President Trump enabling discrimination.
