The Heritage Foundation has announced Feds for Freedom as the recipient of its Innovation Prize. The grassroots organization will receive a $100,000 award for its work in exposing radical progressive policies within the federal government.
Feds for Freedom's initiative, The Pronoun Fight – A Fight for Truth, Sanity, and Freedom of Religion, has revealed how federal agencies spend millions of taxpayer dollars to ensure employees comply with “pronoun policies.” These policies include recognizing all pronouns requested by coworkers and allowing employees to use restrooms based on preferred pronouns.
The organization plans to file a pre-enforcement challenge in federal court against these policies based on First Amendment protections of freedom of speech and religious liberty. This action aims to make the American public aware of the federal government’s abuses.
Dr. Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, released a statement saying: “Rather than advancing their department missions on behalf of the American people, federal agencies are advancing a radical social agenda. These rogue agencies misuse taxpayer dollars to mandate a woke culture in the federal workforce. They must be held accountable."
Marcus Thornton, President of Feds for Freedom added: “Feds for Freedom is a grassroots coalition of thousands of federal workers who believe the government should promote freedom and be reflective of the values of the American people."
The Heritage Innovation Prize awards up to $1 million annually to results-oriented nonprofits for projects involving research, litigation, education, outreach or communications. This is the fourth round of Heritage Innovation Prizes awarded.
