As the Trump administration continues its aggressive push to consolidate executive power and dismantle long-standing civil protections, legal watchdogs and advocacy groups are stepping up to fight back.
Organizations like Public Citizen, ACLU, and Protect Democracy are launching targeted legal challenges against what they call blatant executive overreach. Among the most alarming moves under scrutiny is the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency—a bureaucratic tool being used to justify invasive data collection, including unauthorized access to Americans’ personal financial records.
Public Citizen is currently leading the charge in a federal lawsuit to block this surveillance, arguing that such actions violate privacy rights and due process protections enshrined in the Constitution. Legal experts warn this kind of data mining could set a dangerous precedent, one more step toward an authoritarian surveillance state.
In another major legal battle, constitutional scholars and civil rights attorneys are pushing back against Trump’s ongoing effort to eliminate birthright citizenship—a right guaranteed under the 14th Amendment. The attempt to overturn this cornerstone of American identity is not just unconstitutional, but part of a broader campaign to marginalize immigrants and redefine who counts as a citizen in today’s America.
These lawsuits aren’t just legal battles—they’re moral ones. They send a clear message: No president is above the law, and no administration can operate without checks and balances.
At Resistance Rising 2025, we stand firmly with those who defend our rights in the courtroom. Legal resistance is one of the most powerful tools we have to stop dangerous policies before they take root.
➡️ Stay informed. Stay active. Support these lawsuits. Our democracy depends on it.
