 Dear Friend of Liberty,

Thank you for your continued prayers and support. All year long, you

religious freedom.

Tomorrow, November 28th, is Giving Tuesday. This day is your
opportunity to deliver a faith-filled blow for freedom in the fight
for faith.

And thanks to a generous $50,000 Challenge Grant, your gift's
impact will be multiplied.

This Giving Tuesday!

Together this past summer, we won our third precedent-setting case in
two years at the Supreme Court. When we won for Gerald Groff, we won
for all Americans.

Because of your support, we restored the right for all employees of
faith to request and receive meaningful religious accommodations at
work.

You and I have literally changed the landscape of the fight for faith.

But there is still work to do.

Despite this year's win for people of faith in the workplace,
some "woke" corporations and government actors don't
want to accept the Supreme Court's ruling.

One of those is Michigan Health.

For 17 years, Physician Assistant Valerie Kloosterman worked for
Michigan Health. She routinely received exemplary reviews and her
supervisors described her as "professional," "very
ethical," and a "pleasure to work with."

After a mandatory "diversity and inclusion" training,
Valerie asked for a religious accommodation because she could not
affirm statements about gender identity that violated her deeply held
Christian beliefs.

In response to her request, a Michigan Health representative with no
medical training called Valerie "evil" and a
"liar," denigrated her religious beliefs, and even blamed
her for gender dysphoria-related suicides.

Less than a month later, Valerie was fired for her religious beliefs.

That's not only outrageous. It's illegal.

You and I can no longer allow Michigan Health to trample the values
and religious beliefs of its employees.

Take a Stand for Religious Freedom by Standing with Valerie.
Tell Michigan Health to End Its Hostility Towards Faith.

Corporations and government-backed giants like Michigan Health
don't believe that respecting their staff's sincerely held
religious beliefs is good for business.

It's time for you to join us in telling them otherwise.

With Giving Tuesday less than 24 hours away, you have a unique
opportunity to tell Michigan Health to end their woke policies and to
respect the people of faith that work for them.

Your gift today provides us with much needed resources our legal team
needs to face off against this multibillion-dollar corporation. And
with our $50,000 Challenge Grant, the impact of your gift will be
multiplied many times over.

Will You Join Us on the Frontlines in this Fight and Help Secure
Religious Freedom in the Workplace?

Together, we can fight and win for Valerie and all people of faith so
that they can live out their faith in the workplace and beyond.

Yes, I will make a gift today »
