There really is nothing new under the sun. And cancel culture is no
exception.
As you know, First Liberty has been the tip of the spear in the fight
against cancel culture for over a decade.
So many of our brave clients are people of faith who have been taking
a stand to this toxic ideology for many years-and Aaron and
Melissa Klein are a harrowing example of grit and dedication to this
fight.
We are now just weeks away from hearing whether the Supreme Court will
take their case surrounding their small family-owned bakery in Oregon
Sweet Cakes by Melissa.
When Aaron and Melissa Klein declined to bake a wedding cake for a
same-sex wedding, the Oregon government imposed a devastating
financial penalty on them and suggested people like them needed
"rehabilitation"-for simply running their family
business according to their faith.
The Kleins were forced to close their shop and even endured violent
death threats.
Aaron and Melissa have been fighting for almost a decade now. First
Liberty has fought for them at the Oregon Court of Appeals and at the
U.S. Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court explicitly instructed the Oregon courts that
government officials cannot treat religious Americans with blatant
hostility. The Court directed the state court to determine whether
Aaron and Melissa were treated with such hostility.
While the Oregon court confirmed that government officials acted with
bias against the Klein's faith, the court still sent their case
back to the very same bureaucratic agency that showed anti-Christian
bias for a do-over.
This isn't right. Aaron and Melissa deserve better... They
deserve justice.
Make sure the Kleins get the Sweet Justice they deserve

No American should lose their business, their livelihood or their job
for living out their faith.
That's why First Liberty is taking this case back to the Supreme
Court. And with your support, we will win for the Kleins-and for
millions of faith-based business owners fighting cancel culture.
As with all of First Liberty's clients, Aaron and Melissa will
never receive a bill-which means we are only able fight and win
this case at the Supreme Court with your generous support.
And now the Kleins' case is back at the Supreme Court. We are
asking them to help the Kleins and protect their rights. A decision
about whether the Court will take this important case could come out
as early as the first week in January.
This rapidly approaching deadline gives our expert legal team LESS
THAN THREE WEEKS to present everything-legal briefs, arguments,
facts and all the necessary supporting documentation-the Supreme
Court needs to decide to take up this case.
With the stakes at an all-time high and the clock ticking, our
attorneys are working diligently this Christmas season to make sure
everything is razor-sharp for submission to the Court.
This is a huge opportunity, and I'm counting on your generous
support to put us in the best possible position to take full advantage
of it.
And there is no better time to give to First Liberty than right now.
Time is running out... help the Kleins fight and win TODAY
