The Legal Insurrection Foundation, sometimes abbreviated LIF,[1] is an American not-for-profit organization founded in 2008 and based in Rhode Island.
[9] In 2022 LIF criticized a 2022 American Bar Association mandate that requires "education to law students on bias, cross-cultural competency, and racism" from its accredited schools,[10] In 2023 it sent a cease-and-desist letter to Albany Public Library for its two-month privately-funded internship program offered to black-only library school graduates.
[11] In February 2023 the Foundation started the "Equal Protection Project" (EPP),[12][11][13] which the Washington Post later described as "a legal organization that opposes race-based affirmative action.
"[14] The Project accused Missouri State University of discriminating against white males for hosting a privately-funded a boot camp program for minority or women small business owners.
[18][19][20] The following month, following an EPP complaint, the Ithaca City School District apologized for organizing a "students of color"-only event.
