For the past year, First Liberty has been on the frontlines of the
battle defending your First Amendment right to freely exercise your
faith.

And I can tell you that this year has been full of unexpected twists.

With the change in the White House, we've experienced positive
changes in the federal government's treatment of religious
liberty with new commissions and initiatives aimed at securing our
First Freedom.

But on the state and local levels, we're seeing an unprecedented
rise in discrimination towards people of faith. Overzealous city
leaders and school districts are attacking expressions of faith like
never before.

Thankfully, you have faithfully stood by us through it all. And
despite the best efforts of the enemies of faith, we have many reasons
to be excited about the future of religious freedom.

Our clients, cases and supporters like you fill us with
the inspiration to fight for today and hope as we look forward to
tomorrow.

That's why on Tuesday June 24th, we're inviting you to
celebrate that hope with us on our 3rd Annual First Freedom Day.

For the past two years, we've gathered together during the last
week of June to celebrate our precedent-setting victories at the
Supreme Court.

Because of God's favor and your faithful support, we've
won 9 key cases at the Supreme Court and can expand religious freedom
in ways we've only dreamed of.

Here are some of the cases we're celebrating:

* Coach Joe Kennedy, who fought to secure the right for
teachers, coaches and all government employees to express their
faith at work.
* Postal Carrier Gerald Groff, whose brave stand expanded the
right for all employees to have their religious beliefs and
practices accommodated in the workplace.
* Families in Maine, who fought to make sure that no one can
be excluded from government funding programs for religious
reasons.
* The Bladensburg Peace Cross, which established the right
for monuments and memorials with religious imagery to stand on
public grounds.

While we're excited to celebrate what these victories mean for
the future of religious liberty, First Freedom Day isn't just
about our wins at the Supreme Court.

It's about standing up to the ongoing threats to houses of
worship, faith-based businesses and expressions of faith in the
workplace and public square.

It's about fighting back against the godless bureaucrats,
antifaith activists and faithless corporations that want to silence
your faith.

And it's about preparing the next generation to be first in the
fight for religious freedom.

It's Time to be Strong and Courageous
Maximize Your Impact Through June 30th

You are the reason we've been able to fight
the good fight for faith.

Thanks to your prayers and financial support, we've won crucial
victory after crucial victory to protect and expand our rights.

But we're not done yet. The fight for faith is far from over.

This First Freedom Day, you can deliver a blow to the enemies of faith
by putting us in the best financial position possible to defend
religious freedom.

And right now is the best time to join First Liberty on the frontlines
in this critical fight. Our $500,000 Challenge Grant multiplies the
impact of your gift now through June 30th.

Yes, I'll multiply my impact for freedom now >>

Together, we can fight for the future of faith in America. I pray you
will join me and my team in this battle for our values, our
Constitution and our nation.

Grateful for you,
