ICYMI: A Court Protected The Kennedy Center

Hi friend,

In case you missed it, a federal judge just defended the rule of law and protected one of America’s most treasured cultural institutions.

The court ordered that Donald Trump’s name be removed from the Kennedy Center, ruling that the landmark’s official name cannot be changed without congressional approval. The judge also blocked plans to temporarily close the center as part of a controversial renovation effort.

This ruling is about more than a name. It’s about protecting public institutions from political vanity projects and making clear that shared cultural landmarks belong to the American people — not to any one person.

👉 Add your name to applaud this decision and stand up for accountability, the rule of law, and the preservation of America’s cultural institutions.

In solidarity,
