We’re celebrating a victory in our nation’s capital!
Judge Howell of the U.S. District Court for D.C. ordered the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) to accept and run four bus advertisements that had been unconstitutionally rejected.
WMATA had denied these ads from our client, WallBuilders, a Texas non-profit organization that seeks to educate people about the role that Christian faith played in the creation of our nation and the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
One bus ad that WallBuilders created shows our founding father George Washington with the question “Christian?” written across the front.
A similar ad depicts a well-known painting of the signing the U.S. Constitution posing the same question. The original painting hangs in the U.S. Capitol.
This is a great win for free speech in America. We’re excited that the court ruled that WMATA’s actions were blatantly against our First Amendment and issued a preliminary injunction for our client.
However, the opinion leaves some questions unanswered, and we have more to do to make sure that WallBuilders gets a complete win in court.
We won’t stand down from this fight until we see this victory to the finish line.
But we need your help to make sure that our First Freedom is being protected in our nation’s capital.
Will you join us in the fight for free speech in D.C. so that religious liberty can be fully protected for all Americans?
