The U.S. Supreme Court recently granted a government request in our
Navy SEALs case.

The Court put on hold part of the federal district court ruling that
protects our clients from being punished for requesting a legal,
religious accommodation to the vaccine mandate. It partially and
temporarily granted the Biden administration's request to
consider vaccination status when planning deployments or assignments.

While this is a setback, the legal battle to protect our Navy SEALs is
far from over. This just highlights that we are in an intense battle
for these SEALs and, indirectly, all who serve in our military.

The Court did not rule on the merits or all of our other victories in
the case so far. The injunction protecting our Navy SEALs remains in
place, which means the Department of Defense still cannot punish or
discharge them because of their religious beliefs as the case moves
forward.

What happens next? The case will return to the lower federal courts to
be considered on the merits.

Recall, we've already won on several key aspects of this case.
Both the district court and appeals court previously acted in our
favor, affirming there is no military or pandemic exception to the
Constitution and ordering government officials to stop their attacks
against the Navy SEALs while their case is being considered.

Over the coming weeks First Liberty will be heading into major
hearings and proceedings. These will be critical opportunities to
argue that government officials must follow the law and not
discriminate against service members due to their religious beliefs.
Please join with us in these efforts.

The ethos of America's elite warriors is to never quit. And like
the Navy SEALs, First Liberty will not quit until we fully restore the
rights of our nation's service members.

We urgently need your ongoing financial support. We have tough legal
battles ahead, but we're optimistic that, together, we can win
them.

To help us secure a victory in the Navy SEALs case, a generous group
of our supporters have come forward with a $500,000 CHALLENGE
GRANT-the largest in First Liberty's history.

I'm urging you to take advantage of this unique Challenge
Grant-which MULITPLIES YOUR IMPACT in this critical fight.

Our brave heroes and their families are counting on your support.
Please donate today and help us deliver a final victory for our Navy
SEALs and thousands of service members.
