After one phone call, one fax and a period of one week, we had the full support of the American Civil Liberties Union behind us. In April of 1998, the ACLU, in conjunction with the Women's Law Center and the law offices of Kay Schuler, filed suit in U.S. Federal Court on behalf of West Valley Girls Softball against the City of Los Angeles for gender discrimination. In October of 1999, a tentative agreement was reached between the City of Los Angeles and West Valley Girls Softball. The ACLU expanded the lawsuit to include ALL girls in the city of Los Angeles. In one short year we have revamped an entire sprinkler system, improved electrical wiring, skinned 6 infields, installed side fencing, and countless other improvements at Hughes Middle School.
