First Liberty
Dear John,
We've seen this one before, haven't we?
Back in May, First Liberty protected people of faith in Kentucky from
Governor Andy Beshear's unlawful order which prohibited
religious gatherings under the threat of criminal penalty.
But apparently, Governor Beshear still hasn't gotten the
memo-he's back at it again with a new hostile order. His
target this time? Religious schools.
FLI Senior Counsel Roger Byron joined Fox News earlier today to
explain what makes the Governor's latest order so dangerous to
religious freedom, and what we are doing to stop it:

Not only is this order a clear double-standard, it fits an ominous
pattern of religious discrimination that has crept into numerous
states around the country-threatening the first amendment rights
of millions of religious Americans.
Take New York, for example. In another breaking development,
because of the discrimination that occurred to First Liberty's clients,
the U.S. Department of Justice filed a federal lawsuit against
the Village of Airmont, NY alleging religious discrimination against
the Orthodox Jewish community-echoing a similar lawsuit we filed
2 years ago on behalf of Jewish residents literally being forced to
practice their faith in hiding.
It's an undeniable and unacceptable fact: Religious persecution
is alive and well in America, despite what you hear (or don't
hear) in the media. We have been at the frontlines of this essential
fight from the very beginning, reversing these flagrant violations of
your rights.
But we can only keep winning and remain First in the Fight with your
financial support.
And right now is the perfect time to join the fight with us! Your gift
now through December 31st will be multiplied by our largest-ever
Challenge Grant of $500,000-making good on our promise to
deliver more freedom per dollar.
So join us on the frontlines today, and take advantage of this
opportunity to make your support more impactful than
ever before!
Yes, I will make a gift today!
