Dear John,

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

John, 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, 

Kelly
