Dear John,
I was really moved when Gail Blair said, “My heart is broken that I can’t share my faith.”
Gail, a resident of Westerly, Rhode Island, was banned from a public park for sharing her faith. Even though she is blind, she was determined to hand out pamphlets containing the Gospel of John while she spoke about her faith to those who would voluntarily listen.
Administrative officials of Wilcox Park shut her down, accusing her of littering and “accosting” park patrons.
But thanks to your generous support, First Liberty stepped in to stop this blatant discrimination, and Gail Blair can now indefinitely walk by faith and not by sight. This victory means that no American—least of all a gentle, blind woman—should be banned or censored for simply carrying on a conversation about faith in a public park.
Gail has a special message to say thank you to faithful supporters like you:
Her faith and conviction make Gail another member of our client Hall of Faith this year. Her story is yet another in a long list of religious Americans whose freedom has come under attack—a truly alarming trend. When people of faith like Gail Blair stand up for their rights, every American’s right to religious liberty is protected, allowing us all to live in liberty.
We can’t continue the fight on the frontlines for our First Freedom without your generous gifts. Your support allows First Liberty to continue to fight and win on behalf of courageous Americans like Gail.
