First Liberty



Today, a federal district court issued a crucial order that will help
protect religious liberty for America's military service
members.

U.S. District Court Judge Steven Merryday granted a classwide
preliminary injunction to protect service members in the U.S. Marine
Corps from the unlawful federal COVID vaccine mandate. Our friends at
Liberty Counsel pursued this class action relief on behalf of all U.S.
Marines who were denied religious accommodations from the mandate.

As the fight for religious accommodations to the vaccine mandate
continues, this is an important win for religious freedom in
America's armed forces.

It extends protection to all those in active or reserve duty in the
Marine Corps. This protects First Liberty's own Director of
Military Affairs Mike Berry, a member of the Marine Corps Reserve
whose religious accommodation request was denied earlier this year.

This is the third injunction issued by a federal judge granting
classwide protection. First Liberty previously secured the first major
classwide inunction in our U.S. Navy SEALS case. A federal judge also
extended class protection to U.S. Air Force service members, which was
favorable to the multiple U.S. Air Force clients we're representing.

This means service members across three branches of the military are
protected as these cases move forward.

Discriminating against religious service members is illegal. The First
Amendment, federal laws and military regulations state that all
service members have a right to serve our country without having to
violate their beliefs.

Even with this victory in hand, there's still a great deal of
work ahead to fully vindicate our men and women in uniform.
We're still fighting our Navy SEALs and Air Force cases in
federal court, which means many important legal battles are on the
horizon. And we need your support to deliver a victory.

Just as they did not give up on their country, First Liberty will not
give up fighting for their rights.

heroes.
