First Liberty
[link removed]



In just a few weeks-on June 30-First Liberty will wrap up
another year of ministry. A year that has been an all-out fight for
your religious liberty.

As you can imagine, this fight has been costly. And now...before
we end our financial year...it's critical to replenish what we
call our First Liberty Fighting Fund.

Simply put, it will take $2.5 million by June 30th to meet our goals
so we can continue fighting on the frontlines.

Replenishing this Fighting Fund is so critical a group of generous
supporters is offering a $300,000 Challenge Grant, which I pray you
will help us meet in full!

I don't need to tell you that you and I are in the fight of our
life to protect religious liberty across America. There are forces at
work that are committed to strip you of your right to practice your
faith.

In fact, there's a new enemy on a quest to force religious
Americans like you and me to accept the radical Leftist agenda.

This new enemy...Woke Corporate America.

Many of our nation's biggest corporations have gone all in to
fight against our faith.

Today, there is no shortage of employees being forced to wear company
logos adorned with rainbows or vicious attacks on people of faith who
refuse.

I've never seen such hostility openly out on display.

These woke corporations are quick to use today's cancel culture
to punish, demote and even fire religious members of their staff for
expressing viewpoints that don't conform to their modern Leftist
orthodoxy.

I don't think we can afford to ignore this rising opposition to
religious Americans.

We have to meet this new corporate foe with more resolve and more
vigor to defend our faith...which is just one reason why
replenishing the First Liberty Fighting Fund by June 30 is so
critical.

People of faith are no longer tolerated alongside other diverse
viewpoints and different beliefs. Instead, the woke mob insists on
coercing religious Americans to celebrate ideas with which they
fundamentally disagree.

Major corporations are ignoring their legal obligations and
discriminating against their employees on the basis of religion.

Countless Americans are facing threats against their careers,
reputations and more-all for living according to their religious
beliefs.

That's why First Liberty is already on the frontlines in this
fight.

Just recently, Alaska Airlines fired our clients Lacey Smith and Marli
Brown, two flight attendants, because of their Christian faith.

Lacey and Marli politely asked about the company's support of
the "Equality" Act, after the airlines invited employees
to comment on a company-wide discussion board.

Both of them expressed deep concern about the impact the bill could
have on their freedoms-as do millions of Americans. The airlines
disparaged their beliefs and promptly fired them over these questions.

Not only are we fighting for religious employees like Lacey and Marli,
but we're also protecting faith-based business owners who are
facing hostile treatment because of their beliefs.

Our clients Aaron and Melissa Klein were forced to close their
family-owned bakery because they declined a request to create a custom
cake for a same-sex wedding.

Even though designing and crafting this cake would be forcing them to
convey a message that conflicts with their faith, the state of Oregon
decided to penalize the Kleins $135,000 and told them that they need
"rehabilitation" for simply running the family business
according to their religious beliefs.

Bullying these small business owners into reinforcing viewpoints that
violate their conscience flies in the face of our fundamental
freedoms. We can't allow such blatant religious hostility to
take over our nation-a nation FOUNDED on the bedrock of
religious liberty.

We have to end this hostility towards people of faith in the workplace
now.

But, you and I must stand shoulder-to-shoulder in this
crucial fight. This fight can't be won without your full
support.

The good news is this: First Liberty is uniquely positioned at the
center of the effort because we know how to fight back against these
woke corporations and to stand up to rogue government agencies.

Victories for Marli, Lacey, and Aaron and Melissa Klein could fully
return your constitutional right to live and work according to your
faith.

When we boldly fight together against these vicious attacks on our
freedoms...I assure you, we will preserve our constitutional
freedoms for generations to come.

But we must first replenish the First Liberty Fighting Fund by the end
of our financial year on June 30. I pray you will join the fight with
your very best gift today.

And please be as generous as you can to help ensure we fully meet the
$300,000 Challenge Grant that has been offered!

Yes, I will join the fight! >>
