Judicial Watch announced today it joined with Allied Educational Foundation to file an amici curiae brief in the U.S. Supreme Court that supports overturning a California law that compels the disclosure of tax-exempt organizations' donors.
The Judicial Watch/AEF brief was filed in Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Xavier Becerra, in his official capacity as Attorney General of California, in which Americans for Prosperity asks the high court to reverse the ruling.
Judicial Watch also argues that Supreme Court precedent audited the unit responsible for processing applications by organizations seeking tax-exempt status [and found] inappropriate criteria were used to identify tax-exempt applications for review.
"Cancel culture, with the help of California's government, wants to target and expose donors of Judicial Watch and other conservative groups, in order to crush dissent," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
"The Supreme Court should shut down California's attack on donor privacy - as it is an attack on the First Amendment itself."
The Allied Educational Foundation is a charitable and educational foundation dedicated to improving the quality of life through education.
In furtherance of that goal, the Foundation has engaged in a number of projects, which include, but are not limited to, educational and health conferences domestically and abroad. AEF has partnered frequently with Judicial Watch to fight government and judicial corruption and to promote a return to ethics and morality in the nation's public life.
