Dear Friend,
For Colorado cake artist Jack Phillips, one theme in his life remains constant: the faithfulness of God.
Jack Phillips has stood in court to defend free speech for all of us—for over a decade—and he remains standing, even to this day.
Because, while Jack won his first case for freedom at the U.S. Supreme Court, he’s still defending himself from an activist attorney who has requested that Jack create a cake to celebrate a “gender transition.” This same attorney also requested a cake depicting Satan smoking marijuana.
Neither Jack nor anyone else should be coerced into expressing messages that conflict with their conscience.
Jack serves all people, but he cannot express a message he doesn’t agree with. His expressive decisions do not turn on who is requesting the cake but on what the cake promotes.
Jack’s stand for his First Amendment freedoms is also a stand for the freedom of every American. A Democratic publicist, for example, shouldn’t be forced to promote Republican talking points. Nor should atheists be forced to express religious messages that they disagree with.
This case is critical because a win in this case would reaffirm that free speech is for everyone, including those with beliefs the government disagrees with.
Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys representing Jack and Masterpiece Cakeshop will argue his case at the Colorado Supreme Court on June 18th.
In the midst of so much opposition to his faith and freedom, Jack has remained humble and kind. And through the provision of the Lord, Ministry Friends like you have consistently stepped up to provide Jack with the encouragement and support that he needs.
Friend, Jack needs your prayer now. Will you sign our statement to commit to praying for Jack? This is one crucial way we can stand by him as we ask the Lord to protect Jack’s freedom to speak and live according to the truth.
