Democracy Forward & Todd Blanche

Democracy Forward: Democracy Forward is part of the coalition of organizations and individuals that sued to block the fund, arguing it was an unlawful diversion of taxpayer money. Their legal action is a key driver of the event.

Todd Blanche: As acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche publicly stated the government was scrapping plans for the fund, but his refusal to provide a written commitment and the lack of a formal rescission order contributed to the judge's decision to indefinitely block the fund.
