Receiving Federal Funding. Register now: L4GG and LDF webinar and training on commenting on proposed GSA rule

 

 

 

Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG) and the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) invite lawyers and advocates to a critical webinar this Thursday, March 19, 2026, from 3–4pm eastern.   Register here. The General Services Administration (GSA) has proposed a sweeping new rule that would require every organization receiving federal funding—including nonprofits, universities, cities, and state agencies —to sign certifications, under penalty of federal law, affirming they comply with:           - Vague and legally inaccurate statements about anti-discrimination law,              effectively targeting lawful DEI efforts;           - A certification that they are not helping or harboring "illegal aliens;"           - A certification that they are not engaged in activities the Administration              has broadly—and questionably—designated as "terrorist." If finalized, this rule could weaponize the False Claims Act against organizations that pursue entirely lawful activities, chilling free speech and forcing vital community institutions to choose between their mission and their funding.   Your voice can make a difference—but the comment deadline is March 30.   Join L4GG and LDF to learn exactly how the public comment process works, get step-by-step instructions for submitting a comment that meets GSA requirements and stands the best chance of being considered and responded to, and get your questions answered. This is a concrete, high-impact action legal professionals and other advocates can take right now.  Note: This webinar does not constitute legal advice.
