Dear Friend of Religious Liberty, Because of your voice, Camp IdRaHaJe and Mid Vermont Christian School can continue to live out their Christian faith—free from government coercion. Praise God! When Colorado officials tried to force the beloved camp into allowing males in girls’ private spaces, Camp IdRaHaJe didn’t cave. It stood firm on its biblical convictions. When Vermont officials benched entire middle and high school teams because of their conviction that boys are boys and girls are girls, Mid Vermont Christian students lost two full years of state competition—but they never compromised or backed down. And you stood with them all. Thousands signed the public statement of support. The outcry was heard. Colorado backed down. Today, Camp IdRaHaJe remains a place where kids across the state can encounter the hope of the Gospel without compromise. And after two years, Mid Vermont Christian School can take the court again in Vermont state-sponsored sports thanks to our victory at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit. But the battle for truth and freedom isn’t over. Vermont, Colorado … your state? We already have additional cases defending female athletes including in West Virginia, Idaho, and Connecticut! These threats to our rights can pop up anywhere. You can help defend the right to fair competition and religious liberty wherever it is challenged next. We help Christian schools, ministries, and athletes challenge state officials and their injustice in court—because no school, ministry, or athlete should be punished for following their conscience or their faith. Will you stand with Christian campers, students, and athletes today? Send your message of congratulations to Mid Vermont Christian School and its student athletes who can once again take the court to compete in state competition.
SIGN THE STATEMENT
For truth,
Ryan Tucker
Senior Counsel, Director of the Center for Christian Ministries
