AVAC v The US Department of State
Lawsuit Wins and What’s at Stake
On February 10, AVAC led other organizations to sue the US government including the President, the US State Department and USAID, seeking emergency relief from an Executive Order that inhumanely froze all funding for foreign assistance. This case may well help to determine the future of foreign assistance, executive overreach, and the role of evidence, facts, and values in US policy.
AVAC’s Executive Director, Mitchell Warren and Public Citizen Litigator, Lauren Bateman explain these lawsuits and why they matter.
