Amicus Brief: Evergreen v. City of New York

The NYCLU filed an amicus brief in Evergreen v. City of New York in the Second Circuit, regarding religious employer challenging New York’s Boss Bill, which prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of employees’ sexual and reproductive health decisions. NYCLU has filed amicus briefs in two challenges to New York State’s Boss Bill: Slattery v. Hochul and CompassCare v. Hochul. 

The brief argues that, applying the standard in CompassCare, Evergreen cannot prove that its right to expressive association is burdened by the NYC law. It also provides various examples of  harm experienced by employees subjected to discrimination on the basis of their reproductive health decisions across the country.
