Friend:
It’s been a whirlwind week! Last Friday, Americans United received an award from the Freedom From Religion Foundation for our work combating the influence of religious fundamentalism in our government. I was honored to accept it on behalf of AU’s talented staff and our supporters all across the country.
You can watch my remarks at FFRF’s annual convention right here:
This week also marked an important milestone: We are now less than a month away from the effective date of President Trump’s Denial of Care Rule. This rule would invite health care workers to refuse to treat patients based on their religious beliefs and with virtually no limits, putting all of our lives at risk.
It is a dangerous violation of church-state separation that AU has been working to stop since its inception. Right now, AU’s legal team has brought two separate lawsuits to block this rule from going into effect, working in partnership with the City of Baltimore, the County of Santa Clara, Calif., and partner organizations Lambda Legal and the Center for Reproductive Rights. Please click here to read more about this rule and our efforts to stop it.
There’s no doubt that we will be facing some tough challenges ahead, friend, but we are on it. I’m so glad to have you by our side.
With hope and determination,
