The ACLU, ACLU-MN and pro bono partner Lockridge Grindal Nauen PLLP, filed an amicus brief with the Minnesota Supreme Court on August 30, 2024, in the case Cooper v. USA Power Lifting. JayCee Cooper sought to compete in powerlifting competitions in the women’s division. However, she was excluded from eligibility by USAPL because she is a trans woman. The ACLU-MN argues that this violates the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA) and conflicts with federal courts’ consistent recognition that discriminating against trans women and girls is a form of sex discrimination.

We filed an amicus brief on August 28, 2024 to urge the Minnesota Supreme Court to uphold the constitutionality of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and the Minnesota Indian Family Preservation Act (MIFPA). ICWA and MIFPA are plainly constitutional. Tribal Nations have a unique and important economic and cultural role in Minnesota, and it is their sovereign right to keep member families together, care for their children, and preserve tribal culture by ensuring access to their cultural identity, language, and heritage. https://lnkd.in/g5mNSFy2
