ACLU

In addition to Heard's planned donation to the ACLU, she said she would donate the other half of her $7 million divorce settlement to the Children's Hospital ...

Dougherty said he had reviewed earlier drafts of Heard’s op-ed and, based upon that, “knew that they were referring to Johnny Depp [and] her marriage.” In the final edit, however, Heard’s legal team “neutered” references to her marriage and domestic violence. (Heard dated Musk after her split with Depp, though Musk was “just filling space,” according to testimony on April 27.) In addition to Heard’s planned donation to the ACLU, she said she would donate the other half of her $7 million divorce settlement to the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was not immediately clear how much she has paid to the hospital to date. However, there have not been any concrete signs that Heard won’t eventually follow through, according to Dougherty. “I’m not aware of any indication that Ms. Heard has decided to no longer pay additional amounts,” Dougherty said in the deposition played Thursday. Doughtery also said that $500,000 of the $1.3 million donated thus far was from a charitable account that appeared to be “associated with Elon Musk” and he thought the tech billionaire had set up this account. There was some doubt around Heard paying the rest as she did not sign a “pledge form” that would make the donations legally binding, Dougherty testified. When the ACLU reached out to Heard in 2019 about future installments, Dougherty said, “We learned that she was having financial difficulties.” “She can be confident that this gift will help other women live safely and freely.” But according to a deposition played Thursday in Depp’s defamation trial against Heard, it appears that, to this day, only $1.3 million has been donated to the civil-rights nonprofit.

Billionaire Elon Musk appears to have chipped in at least $500000 to ex-girlfriend Amber Heard's donation to the American Civil Liberties Union, ...

“I’m assuming the former, but I don’t know.” “Either that means a separate donor-advised fund he has at Fidelity or from — Fidelity, you know, direct investment accounts he has at Fidelity,” he said. That money included a $500,000 donation from a fund at Vanguard and $350,000 from a Fidelity fund, Dougherty testified.

After promising to donate half of her $7 million divorce settlement to the American Civil Liberties Union in 2016, Amber Heard personally gave and arranged ...

Attorneys for Heard have said that she was physically and sexually abused by Depp, often when he was drinking or using drugs, and the op-ed fell within her right to free speech. The op-ed in question came out of Heard's relationship with the ACLU, which named her an ambassador in October 2018. Dougherty said Heard donated $350,000 to the ACLU "very soon" after August 2016, when she said in a statement that she would donate half of the divorce settlement to the ACLU and the other half to Children's Hospital Los Angeles. At some point, her ex-husband Johnny Depp donated $100,000 to the ACLU on her behalf.

The actress received a $7 million divorce settlement from Johnny Depp, on the condition she donate it to the Children's Hospital Los Angeles and ACLU.

He also claimed the actress told the organization not to issue a press release about her pledged donation. Dougherty testified the ACLU received $350,000 directly from Heard in 2016. However, Dougherty said the organization stopped receiving payments in 2019, when they “learned that she was having financial difficulties.”

TreVon says he has experienced racially disparate punishment at Oshkosh Area School District schools since he was in Kindergarten, sometimes for minor things ...

The District’s duty is to provide a school environment where all students can safely learn and thrive, regardless of their race.” School administrators also called the police and referred juvenile charges of disorderly conduct against TreVon and Karizmah, as well as other Black students. Seven Black students were ultimately referred for expulsion as a result of the events at the dance.

The complaint says two Black students were subject to persistent racial harassment and that administrators failed to address or fully investigate it.

The seventh-grade boy experienced racially disparate punishment at school, including for minor things such as putting his head on his desk, the ACLU of Wisconsin said in its statement that detailed the complaint against the district. The ALCU did appeal that decision to the State Department of Public Instruction, which upheld the expulsion decision. by the ACLU and therefore is not in a position to comment further on any such complaint.

The ACLU is asking the Department of Education to investigate the expulsion of Black middle school students when they were racially harassed at school.

Her brother, a seventh-grader, said he was the subject of racially disparate punishment since kindergarten “sometimes for minor things such as putting his head on his desk.” The ACLU says school officials did not investigate but ignored the students’ claims. In a statement, the Oshkosh Area School District said it’s not in a position to comment on the complaint because the district hasn’t received it. The ACLU says even at one boy’s expulsion hearing, a school board official said the racial harassment was “not relevant.”

MILWAUKEE, Wis. -- Action is taken against the Oshkosh Area School District over alleged racial discrimination...

The ALCU did appeal that decision to the State Department of Public Instruction which upheld the expulsion decision. The District, however, does maintain a specific policy for addressing matters of pupil discrimination and to date, no complaint under this policy has been filed by the ACLU or by the family referenced in their press release. It also alleges the district took no action to address the harassment, even after school officials were informed about it.

The actor pledged to donate some of her divorce settlement to the organization, but after delivering less than half by December 2018, she stopped payments, ...

In the first place, he does not refer to her charitable donation at all in the context of his central findings.” Elaine Bredehoft, who is currently representing the actress in the U.S., said during a hearing in July, “[Heard] has always said she fully intends to continue to give the full $7 million, but she can’t do it yet. Whether or not she’s donated the full settlement has been a particular sticking point for Depp’s team in this trial, as well as during the appeal of the U.K. trial. Her failure to complete payment is offered as a blight on her credibility, and an example of her striving for good P.R., which Depp’s team argues she doesn’t deserve. But she has given a significant amount.” This is over and above any funds that I have given away in the past and will continue to give away in the future.”

The actor made the pledge as she ended her marriage to Johnny Depp, saying she would split $7 million between the ACLU and a children's hospital.

Amber Heard's op-ed about domestic violence was timed to capitalize on the release of 'Aquaman,' an ACLU executive testified.

At the time of their divorce, Depp agreed to pay Heard $7 million, which she promised to donate to the ACLU and to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, with $3.5 million going to each charity. Dougherty’s testimony included internal ACLU emails about the drafting of the op-ed. Depp alleges that Heard fabricated her abuse allegations and used them to advance her own career at his expense. Dougherty explained that the publicity campaign for the film would help get more attention for the op-ed. “From the ACLU’s perspective, Amber is about to receive an incredible amount of press and be in the public eye,” Dougherty said. At the trial on Thursday, Depp’s attorneys played a video deposition of Terence Dougherty, the ACLU’s general counsel.
