John,


Over the past few weeks my team at the Center for American Liberty has been
furiously filing briefs, responses, and new litigation.



And since you’re one of our very best supporters, I wanted to make sure you
had the latest updates!



1. Givens v. Newsom



My team continues to battle California Governor Gavin Newsom, in court, over
his COVID-19 Stay-at-Home order that included a blanket ban on your right to
assemble and protest. Ron Givens and a group of Second Amendment supporters
merely wanted to hold a peaceful socially distanced outdoor rally protesting
Newsom’s attempts to burden their Second Amendment rights.



At issue in this case is whether during a state of emergency the governor has
the power to unilaterally ban your First Amendment rights. And since Governor
Newsom still refuses to lift California’s state of emergency and return power
to the state legislature, it is now more important than ever to win this case
and protect the First Amendment rights of millions of Californians.



Just a few days ago we filed our reply brief in support of our motion for
summary judgment in federal court.



2. Mahoney v. U.S. Capitol Police Board



As you likely remember, Rev. Patrick Mahoney has repeatedly been denied in his
requests to hold peaceful prayer gatherings on public grounds outside the U.S.
Capitol building.



And to make matters worse, the U.S. Capitol Police Board adopted a policy
whereby only events approved by a member of Congress are permitted—extending
totally unconstitutional super First Amendment power to members like AOC and
Nancy Pelosi.



You and I know that the grounds surrounding the U.S. Capitol building, “the
People’s House,” are forthe people. We don’t need permission to assemble or
petition the government. And Rev. Mahoney certainly doesn’t need permission
from a member of Congress, constitutionally, to pray with others outside the
Capitol Building.



That is why just two weeks ago we filed a motion for a preliminary injunction
in Rev. Mahoney’s case,Mahoney v. U.S. Capitol Police Board. We anticipate
being back in court later this summer.



3. Konen v. Spreckels School District



In perhaps the biggest case we’ve ever taken on, this month we filed suit on
behalf of Jessica Konen and her young daughter against the school district and
teachers who went behind Jessica’s back to manipulate her daughter to identify
as bisexual and transgender.



Stay tuned for more updates on this case as we anticipate a response from the
government soon.



4. Hermon School Department v. McBreairty



As I shared with you just yesterday, we’re now representing Shawn McBreairty,
a parent from Bangor, ME, who had the audacity to speak out against the “woke”
brainwashing taking place in his local public school. And in response to his
speaking out, the school district sued him to censor him!



We’ve intervened by filing an Anti-SLAPP motion to get the lawsuit dismissed
because Shawn was clearly well within his First Amendment rights in speaking
out against the school and asking for more transparency.



As we’ve seen across the country, when parents speak out, children win. That
is why defending Shawn and winning this Anti-SLAPP motion is so important—we
cannot allow for activist school officials to censor parents.



Every one of our cases is critical to the preservation of liberty here in the
United States.



It seems like every day the radical Left and its allies in legacy media are
looking for new ways to trample our freedom.



Whether it’s freedom of speech, freedom of religion, or parental rights – it’s
clear that the Left won’t stop until it has turned our liberties to ash.



With your support, we’re fighting back as hard as we possibly can.



And, as long as you’re with us, we won’t stop until we’ve won.



Thank you for your continued support.



Sincerely,







Harmeet K. Dhillon
