Dear Friend,

COVID-19 mandates have become the new battleground in the government’s tug-of-war over bodily autonomy and individual sovereignty.
 
Already, legal challenges to these mandates are piling up before the courts.

Before long, divided circuit court rulings will make their way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which will be asked to decide whether these mandates constitute government overreach or a natural extension of the government’s so-called emergency powers.
 
Here’s what we know: this debate over bodily autonomy, which covers broad territory ranging from forced vaccinations and forced blood draws to biometric surveillance and basic healthcare, has far-reaching ramifications for who gets to decide what happens to our bodies during an encounter with government officials.

The Rutherford Institute—nonpartisan, apolitical and committed to the principles enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights—is working hard to push back against the government’s heavy-handed tyranny on almost every front. We’re filing lawsuits, issuing policy papers, training future freedom fighters, sounding the alarm over constitutional violations, and fighting in and out of the courts to hold the government accountable to playing by the rules of the Constitution.
 
Still, we couldn’t do all that we do without you.
 
Your year-end support not only keeps our attorneys on the front lines of the many legal battles taking place across the country, but it also reinforces our efforts to shore up the constitutional rights that have been battered by years of abuse, neglect and attacks.
 
Please take a moment to make a tax-deductible, year-end donation right now to help us fight these critical battles and end 2021 in the black. Any gifts received before December 31 will also count towards this year’s $100,000 matching gift challenge.
 
It’s going to take everything we’ve got to make America free again.
 
For freedom,

John W. Whitehead
President
