20. SUPREME COURT CASE – 1980 VILLAGE OF SCHUAMBURG V CITIZENS FOR A BETTER ENVIRONMENT Citizens for a Better Environment is a social justice organization that works in urban, low-income communities that suffer from environmental pollution and toxics. In 1980, CBE sued a village in the northern Iowa for denying them the right to solicit contributors because of the village claimed that CBE technically did not use all of their receipts for “charitable purposes”. After being brought to the supreme court, it was decided that the village's rule was a form of censorship and violated the first and fourteenth amendments. This might not have been a Supreme Court worthy case if it had involved a different component of giving charity, but the fact that it, straight up, barred solicitation in that area for CBE, caused the village's rule to be considered unconstitutional. This is an example of a Judicial power. .
