Dear John,

Today, First Liberty filed our opening brief in our newest Supreme Court case. Alongside Gene Schaerr, managing partner at Schaerr | Jaffe, we are fighting for every American's parental rights. You can read the brief here ([link removed]) .

Oral argument at the Supreme Court is set for December 7.

Washington state says it can hide runaway children – from any state – from their parents and facilitate “gender-affirming” treatment without parental notice or consent. The Ninth Circuit said parents can’t challenge the law until after the damage is done.

Now, we’re asking the Supreme Court to reverse that decision—and protect parents and their children before it’s too late.

“Parents should not have to wait until their children are irreparably harmed to seek protection from courts,” said Ryan Gardner, Senior Counsel at First Liberty Institute. “No family should face the terror of having their children run away to the state and then have those children hidden from them.”

We need your generosity now to help fight this monumental Supreme Court case, which could turn into our 12th victory at the Court.

And this case is only part of the opportunity before us. First Liberty currently has seven additional petitions asking the Supreme Court to hear critical religious freedom cases.

Taking a case all the way to the Supreme Court requires tremendous resources—and we never send our clients a bill.

Your gift today ([link removed]) will help fuel First Liberty’s Supreme Court defense efforts, giving our legal team the resources to fight these cases all the way—and pursue victories that can protect religious freedom and constitutional rights for millions of Americans.

Yes, I will make a gift today to help First Liberty fight at the Supreme Court » ([link removed])
Grateful for you,

Kelly
