Dear John,
All year long, you’ve heard me say that we have the opportunity to experience more religious freedom than most of us have had in our lifetimes.
What does that really mean?
It means that our recent victories at the Supreme Court have restored public expressions of faith, redefined religious accommodations in the workplace and eliminated the exclusion of faith-based groups and individuals from government programs.
For too long, these reclaimed freedoms have gone largely unrealized.
Religious Liberty is the Key to a More Faith-Filled Tomorrow
Join the Fight for Faith, Family and Freedom!
But that’s all changing.
This Christmas season, once banned nativity scenes have been setup on town squares, at local court houses and in front of city halls all over our country.
And amazingly, a nativity scene was displayed and celebrated on the steps of our nation’s capital for the first time.
Reclaiming our lost freedoms, however, extends way beyond nativity scenes.
You are free to do much, much more.
You can distribute the Gospel of John in a city park like Gail Blair. You can encourage your child to start a Bible club at school like Laura Walker. And you can pray after a high school football game like Coach Joe Kennedy.
Threats and Intimidation Can’t Be Allowed to Win the Day
It’s Time to be Strong and of Good Courage
Yet, despite the Supreme Court’s rulings, the enemies of faith are working overtime to make sure that you believe your rights are still limited when it comes to religious expression.
You and I can already see how they’re using threats and intimidation to silence our faith.
That’s why First Liberty is ready, willing and able to fight when brave Americans like you stand-up to these anti-faith bullies.
And thanks to your faithful support, we are fighting for folks like:
- Pastor Chris Avell who was criminally tried for providing temporary shelter from the cold to his community’s most vulnerable
- Fire Chief Ron Hittle who was fired for attending a leadership conference held at a church
- School Board Member Heather Rooks who was censored for reading scripture at School Board Meetings
Fighting together to defend bold expressions of faith like these...That’s what it will take for you and I to protect our newly restored rights.
Newly Increased $600,000 Matching Grant
Makes Your Gift Go Even Farther
How can we secure the future of religious freedom? It will take fighting and winning for people who are boldly living out their faith.
Right now, there’s no better way to take a stand for religious freedom than by supporting First Liberty financially.
Your support allows First Liberty to provide our clients with the best possible defense without ever sending them a bill.
And now thanks to a generous donor, our matching grant has been increased by $100,000. That means every dollar you give will be doubled thanks to our now $600,000 Matching Grant.
But to take advantage of this giving opportunity, you must make your gift before midnight on December 31st.
Together, we can protect religious freedom today and deliver hope for a brighter, more faith-filled tomorrow.
Will you join us in the fight for faith?
Yes, I will make a gift today!
Grateful for you,
Kelly
