First Liberty
[link removed]
People of faith are the backbone of this country.
We believe that our inalienable rights come from God, that our
Constitution was put in place to secure the blessings of liberty, and
that the First Amendment guarantees we can live out our faith.
But there are many out there who are trying to put an end to our
fundamental freedoms that come from God.
They want us to conform and be of the world...to compromise our
beliefs and accept their reality.
But God has blessed you and me with the resolve to stand for religious
freedom and the courage to fight the good fight for faith.
And this resolve is needed now more than ever as we close out this
year of ministry!
Stand Strong for Religious Freedom Today.
Make a Greater Difference with Our $400,000 Challenge Grant.

For 35 years, I've been fighting back against the threats to
religious liberty posed by godless bureaucrats, antifaith activists
and faithless woke corporations.
And thankfully, people of faith just like you have been fighting
alongside me every step of the way.
Together, we've won over 90% of the battles.
You and I have won for moms and dads, for pastors and rabbis, for
business owners and employees, and for soldiers and chaplains.
You and I made sure that people of faith could gather and worship
during the pandemic. We stopped the government from trampling on the
First Amendment rights of 35 Navy SEALs. And we restored the right to
express our faith in schools, the workplace and the town square.
But the fight for faith is far from over. That's why your
support throughout the month of June is so critical.
It's Time to be Strong and Courageous.
Maximize Your Impact in the Fight for Faith Through June 30th.

This year, there is a resurgence in attacks against houses of worship,
pastors and rabbis - the likes of which I haven't seen in
a long time.
Local bureaucrats are using whatever means necessary to keep
ministries from fulfilling their most basic mission - serving
those in need.
*In Bryan, Ohio, they've criminally charged Pastor Chris
Avell for providing a safe place for the town's most
vulnerable to go 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
*In San Luis, Arizona, they've forced Pastor Jose Castro to
end his food ministry that has been feeding the hungry in his
community for 25 years.
*In Weare, New Hampshire, they've prevented Pastor Howard
Kaloogian from hosting religious gatherings in his home and on
his property.
*And now in Castle Rock, Colorado, they've canceled Pastor
Mike Polhemus' efforts to provide temporary and emergency
shelter for helpless and suddenly homeless people.
Make no mistake, the financial and criminal threats being hurled at
these pastors and their respective churches are very real and very
dangerous.
They are also illegal and unconstitutional.
Take a Bold Stand for the Future of Faith.
Your Gift Today Will Help Defend These Brave Pastors.

It's up to faithful Americans like you to come
alongside these pastors and fight with them against the discriminatory
actions of these government officials.
By fighting for them, you are also fighting to protect the First
Amendment rights of pastors and people of faith all across our nation.
There is no more important time to financially support First Liberty
and the fight for faith than now.
In just a few weeks, we will come to a very critical juncture as June
30th marks the end of another year of ministry.
Your best gift ensures that we can end this year strong and that our
expert legal team will be in the best financial position possible to
fight back with these brave pastors. You don't want your church to be
next.
And now to help your gift go even further, a generous group of
supporters are offering a $400,000 Challenge Grant to ensure that
Pastors Avell, Castro, Kaloogian and Polhemus are free to minister to
their congregations and serve their communities' most
vulnerable.
But you must act by June 30th to maximize the impact of your gift.
Thank you for all that you do to support the fight for religious
freedom.
Will you join us on the frontlines and fight the good fight for faith?
Yes, I will make a gift today!
