Hello John,
Personal freedoms are under attack now more than they ever have been in the history of our country.
Last week, I sent out a press release of a young man who was fired from Trader Joe’s for refusing to get the Covid-19 Vaccine due to his strong religious conviction.
Support PJI now to ensure Gregg Crawford continues to receive free legal counsel.
Here is an excerpt from the press release:
Gregg Crawford, a devout Christian throughout his adult life, worked as an exemplary management employee at Trader Joe’s for 26 years. In July 2021, Trader Joe’s announced that store managers must take the COVID-19 vaccine, a striking contradiction to the grocery store’s distinctive focus on natural, organic, preservative-free products. Crawford respectfully requested a religious accommodation that Trader Joe’s initially granted.
However, shortly after Crawford’s accommodation was initially granted, the grocery store’s regional manager informed Crawford that only vaccinated employees would be permitted to attend a required Leader’s Meeting in August; failure to attend the meeting would negatively affect Crawford’s performance review.
PJI’s staff attorney, Ronald Hackenberg, sent a letter to Trader Joe’s on Crawford’s behalf, pointing out the discriminatory nature of blocking Crawford from the meeting because he was not vaccinated and then subjecting him to adverse job actions for non-attendance.
Gregg was subsequently fired.
These types of infringements on religious freedom and civil liberties are exactly why the Pacific Justice Institute exists and we are here to take a stand for those people who can’t stand for themselves.
That is why PJI always has and always will provide completely free legal counsel, representation and defense to people like Gregg Crawford.
We stand behind Gregg and hope you will also.
Your generous donation today helps to ensure Mr. Crawford can continue to receive world-class, free legal counsel to help fight for his rights and civil liberties.
Running the Race,
Brad Dacus
President and Founder, Pacific Justice Institute
