Why are Republican senators protecting woke corporations from lawsuits?
Staff • Mar 16, 2026

Save Our States Executive Director Trent England wrote for the Washington Examiner about litigation finance:

Conservatives have racked up massive wins in the courts: ending deference to government agencies, ending protections for abortion, expanding religious liberty, and many more. Lawsuits are also holding companies accountable for radical, woke diversity, equity, and inclusion and environmental, social, and governance policies. So why are Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) pushing a bill that would protect woke corporations from conservative lawsuits?

The “Litigation Funding Transparency Act of 2026” would make it harder for everyday Americans to hold woke corporations accountable in court by doxxing the funders of these lawsuits. Unsurprisingly, the bill is endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Big Tech firms, and insurance giants. They want to bury meritorious lawsuits before they ever see a courtroom. In the name of transparency, this bill would be a weapon for powerful institutions to wield against anyone brave enough to sue them.
