🚨 BREAKING: @ADFLegal has filed a motion to intervene as a defendant in the ACLU’s case against Washington’s new women’s sports law.
We’re representing Female Athletes United, including several members from Washington state who have been forced to compete against boys.
These girls deserve a voice in this case. No one else will adequately represent their interest in defending fair, safe sports for women and girls. It certainly won’t come from the state AG’s office, which has previously argued against girls’ right to single-sex competition, and which has already assigned the defense of the law to an outside firm.
We also intend to raise federal arguments based on Title IX, which the state is unlikely to raise.
Our clients are ready to share their unique perspectives with the court, including firsthand experiences of losing fairness and opportunity without the protections offered by Washington’s new law.
The will of Washington’s people is unambiguous and indisputable. They passed the measure to protect girls’ sports by double digits, carrying 36 of 39 counties. The teachers union and the ACLU are now trying to erase those votes and silence those voices. But women and girls have come too far to sit quietly on the sidelines now.
Our message to the court is simple: let women speak.
