Dear  John,

Right now, the Senate is debating one of the most dangerous threats to religious liberty our nation has ever faced.

I’m talking about the so-called “Equality” Act…a misleading and destructive wrecking ball of legislation that would in fact STRIP AWAY equality for religious Americans in order to appease activist groups and politically-correct radicals.

This disturbing act has already passed the House. And if we don’t stand for our rights now, we very well could be facing a future where we lose these rights entirely.

John, as the leading defenders of religious liberty in our country, we REFUSE to let such severe threats to your first freedom stand.

Would you join me in fighting back against this blatant religious hostility with your gift today?

The damage that the “Equality” Act would cause is truly unprecedented.

The language of the bill would essentially ERASE the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), specifically stating that RFRA “shall not provide a basis for challenging” any application of the “Equality” Act.

What does all of this mean for people of faith?

It means that you or any organization (think: your workplace, your church, your school) that holds certain religious and moral beliefs (for instance, about marriage, gender, or life) could be FORCED to participate in activities that violate your conscience.

In short, it would make religious Americans second-class citizens.

We simply cannot allow this to happen. We cannot allow such blatant religious discrimination to take over our nation—a nation FOUNDED on the bedrock of religious liberty.

We must do everything in our power to preserve this constitutional bedrock—and we can’t do it without you.

First Liberty has led the charge to protect faith and freedom in America against attacks like this for decades, and we plan to continue holding the line in the face of this latest assault as well. Our expert legal team has an unparalleled victory rate taking on such acts of discrimination.

But to keep standing our ground, we need you to stand with us.

Please donate to First Liberty today, to help us fight religious hostility as we champion TRUE equality that doesn’t leave out religious Americans.

With your support, we will remain America’s greatest hope for victory.

Gratefully,

Kelly
