Dear John,
Today, First Liberty launched a new, major legal action in filing
Charges of Discrimination with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) on behalf of two flight attendants.
We're leading the fight against woke corporations who have
jumped on the anti-religious bandwagon in the name of so-called
"equality."
In a direct violation of federal civil rights law prohibiting
workplace religious discrimination, Alaska Airlines recently fired
Lacey Smith-along with another flight attendant who chooses to
remain anonymous at this time-for expressing their religious
beliefs.
Employees are being "canceled"-not for anything they've done,
but for what they believe.

When Alaska Airlines declared on its company's internal message
board that as a corporation it was supporting passage of the
"Equality" Act, it invited employees to comment.
Acting on her sincerely held religious beliefs, Lacey responded to the
posting on the messaging board by asking, "As a company, do you
think it's possible to regulate morality?"
Lacey's question was not a public diatribe but a respectful
response to what she believed was a sincere effort on the part of
Alaska Airlines to get feedback from its employees.
Little did Lacey realize what would come next. For seeking
clarification and attempting to engage in respectful conversation at
the request of her employer, she was fired. The company told Lacey,
"Defining gender identity or sexual orientation as a moral
issue...is...a discriminatory statement."
Alaska Airlines certainly has the right to support the proposed
"Equality" Act. But once it opens a forum for discussion,
religious employees have the right to express themselves on the same
basis as other employees.
The law is clear about this. The Civil Rights Act prohibits a company
from discriminating against an employee based on their religious
beliefs.
But in today's cancel culture, radical Left ideologues in
control of corporate America are out to purge anyone with a dissenting
point of view.
By firing Lacey Smith, Alaska Airlines has joined the ranks of many
other companies hostile to people of faith.

Thankfully there are courageous Americans like Lacey Smith willing to
take a stand for our country's historic commitment to religious
freedom. She wants to strike a blow against corporate America, holding
them accountable so the same thing that happened to her does not
happen to you or someone in your family.
That's why Lacey turned to First Liberty. She knows that with a
90 percent win record, we get results.
To keep this string of victories going with a win for Lacey, First
Liberty needs your help. Your timely donation will help ensure that
she gets the justice she deserves.
Since most victims of religious persecution don't have the money
to defend themselves, First Liberty defends them in court for free.
And we have been blessed with tremendous success.
That's because we have a secret weapon. We not only have a team
of expert staff lawyers at First Liberty, but also a unique
national network of the best attorneys from the top law firms in the
country. Because they are committed to saving religious freedom, they
donate their time to defend clients like Lacey free of charge.
But even the force multiplying effect of our national network of
volunteer attorneys is not enough to overcome the incredible costs of
defending religious freedom. First Liberty simply cannot match the
huge war chests of the enemies of faith. Corporations like Alaska
Airlines have millions at their disposal.
That's why I am writing you today. Would you prayerfully
consider going All In! with First Liberty by donating to help us win
this critical case?

No religious person in America should ever have to be silent and go
undercover just to hold on to his or her job. By defending the civil
rights of Lacey Smith to be free from religious discrimination, you
will also protect your job and the jobs of people close to you.
Remember, the religious freedom of your children and grandchildren
starts with you. If you won't fight for them, who will?
