I'm seeing an alarming resurgence in attacks against houses of
worship, pastors and rabbis and it's impacting their ability to
serve their communities.

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. And with this summer's
temperatures on the rise, these people have nowhere else to escape the
heat.

In San Luis, Arizona, they're doing everything they can
to force Pastor Jose Castro to end his food ministry that
feeds the hungry in his community. For 25 years, people in the city
have been heavily relying on these resources to stay afloat.

And in Boca Raton, Florida, the Loggers' Run Homeowners
Association is discriminating against Rabbi Hertzel and his Jewish
community. Ever since the Hertzel's tried to build a synagogue for the
orthodox Jewish community, they've lashed out in hateful ways
and encouraged others to foster an antisemitic environment against
them.

These types of cases light a fire under our attorneys. These people of
faith are why we fight for what matters most.

Listen to First Liberty attorney Jeremy Dys share just how much these
ministries mean to their communities and how your generosity makes
their ministries possible:

Thank you for standing strong alongside these bold faith leaders. Your
ongoing prayers and financial support are the reason why our legal
team can keep fighting-and winning-for these shepherds.

As Jeremy said, we are standing proudly with these brave people of
faith at absolutely no cost to them.

The pro-bono work of our volunteer attorney network ensures that these
faith leaders are getting the best legal help, for free. Which means
they can put every penny they have into making their ministries
possible.

Because of your generosity, Pastor Avell can pay rent for his church
facility and give shelter to people in need. Pastor Castro can give
out food to the starving people in his community.

Most of the clients we serve could NOT afford to fight these legal
battles alone and keep their ministries afloat.

Right now, I want to invite you to have an even greater impact on the
ministries of Pastor Avell, Pastor Castro and Rabbi Hertzel with your
donation.

Give before tomorrow at midnight and increase the impact of your gift
thanks to our special $500,000 Challenge Grant.

You must take advantage of this gift multiplier before midnight
tomorrow!

Yes, I will make my best gift for America's faith leaders today >>

I'm counting on you to rise up and defend these men of faith.
