U.S. Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Privacy for Charities

On July 1, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion in Americans for Prosperity Foundation v Bonta. The vote was 6-3. The decision strikes down a California law that requires charities that solicit tax-deductible donations in California to reveal their major donors.

The decision is difficult to reconcile with Doe v Reed, an earlier U.S. Supreme Court opinion that ruled against privacy for petition signers, and the three dissenting justices emphasize that point.
