National Urban League, et al. v. Trump, et al.

In his first few days in office, President Trump signed three critical executive orders aimed at shutting down DEI and radical gender ideology in government and federally funded institutions:

• EO No. 14151: Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Referencing
• EO No. 14168: Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government
• EO No. 14173: Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity

Unsurprisingly, the executive orders were challenged in court by activist groups who receive federal funding and support harmful DEI programs based on race and gender identity.

Their lawsuit directly threatens Do No Harm’s mission and its ability to protect its members – medical professionals, patients, and students – from discrimination and other harms.

Do No Harm is asking the court for the opportunity to defend our members and use our experience to explain why these orders targeting harmful and discriminatory practices are necessary.

On March 5, 2025, Do No Harm filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit, asking the court to become a defendant in the case and thereby giving Do No Harm the right to file briefs, take discovery, and present arguments to help defend the orders alongside the U.S. Department of Justice.
