Today, First Liberty Institute filed a religious discrimination lawsuit in federal court against Alaska Airlines on behalf of two flight attendants.

In a direct violation of federal civil rights law prohibiting workplace religious discrimination, Alaska Airlines fired Lacey Smith and Marli Brown for expressing their religious beliefs.

Alaska Airlines declared on its company’s internal message board that as a corporation it was supporting the passage of the so-called Equality Act and invited employees to comment.

Acting on her sincerely held religious beliefs, Lacey Smith responded to the posting on the messaging board by asking, “As a company, do you think it’s possible to regulate morality?”

Marli Brown also posted a response asking, “Does Alaska support: endangering the Church, encouraging suppression of religious freedom, obliterating women rights and parental rights?”

Despite asking for feedback, Alaska Airlines fired both Lacey and Marli for providing feedback from their Christian perspective.

Alaska Airlines certainly has the right to support the proposed “Equality” Act. But the Airline cannot wield its social advocacy as a sword to unlawfully discriminate against religious employees.

Censoring only religious perspectives is blatant discrimination—and it’s illegal. Woke corporations cannot treat religious employees as second-class citizens. That violates federal law.

Together, we can stand up for religious freedom in the workplace and defend the rights of Lacey Smith and Marli Brown. Give now and join First Liberty in this fight.

Your support can help deliver legal victory for Lacey and Marli—and all Americans who are singled out for their beliefs in the workplace.
