Second Circuit: Connecticut Parents Union v. Russell-Tucker et al.

 

An advocacy organization seeking organizational standing to challenge a government action can't merely rely on its expenditure of funds in opposition to the measure, even at the request of its members; it must establish an injury in fact by showing an involuntary material burden on its established core activities.

Claim for expenditures against the measure needs to be supported by proof that existing activies were hindered, and that the expenditures were material.
