"We are firing on all cylinders now."
That's how the director of equality and opportunity litigation at a conservative public interest law firm is framing his group's victory in a discrimination lawsuit against the state of Oregon.
In an email obtained by ProPublica, the director of equality and opportunity litigation at the Pacific Legal Foundation was quoted as gloating after the group won a $1.5 million grant from a national group of Jewish women philanthropists to support women and girls in Ukraine.
"While you might say gloat, we would say speaking proudly," the email read.
"The funding will allow Project Kesher to expand the critical support it provides to women and girls in Ukraine as the country endures its third year of war after being invaded by Russia."
ProPublica notes that the Charles Koch Foundation and the Charles Koch Institute, which are backed by billionaire Koch brothers Charles Koch and David Koch, donated $2,331,550 to the PLF over the past two years.
The PLF is a conservative public interest law firm representing many of the plaintiffs in a discrimination lawsuit against the state.
"We are firing on all cylinders now," the director of equality and opportunity litigation says.
"We haven't scratched the surface."
