Great news! We just secured a win for our client Laura, a 5th grade
student at Creekside Elementary School, near Seattle.

The Issaquah School District announced it will allow Laura and other
students to start an interfaith prayer club. The school previously
denied her request, even though it promoted more than a dozen
non-religious clubs. Just two weeks after First Liberty attorneys sent
a letter explaining how the First Amendment applies, the school
district changed course.

"We are very pleased that the Issaquah School District is
allowing our clients to start a prayer club at their school this
spring," said First Liberty attorney Kayla Toney.
"Religious discrimination is not only against the law; it is
especially harmful against young children."

What a tremendous and encouraging victory for this young student.

Laura has said that prayer is incredibly important to her. She says
the prayer club will help friends from many different faiths who feel
marginalized. She wanted to make sure students like her could have a
place at school where they feel safe and welcome.

This is a great example of the impact of our Supreme Court victory in
the Coach Kennedy case. It's a reminder that people of faith,
including elementary school students, have a constitutional right to
express their religious beliefs and pray, even in a public school
setting.

Thank you for your generous and steadfast support. Every donation you
make to First Liberty turns into real impact. You're the one
helping provide everyday American heroes with the best legal defense
possible.

You share in this victory. You're why Laura will have the
opportunity to pray and freely live out her faith alongside her
classmates and friends. That's the impact of your gift.
