In fifth grade, Shea Encinas was forced to teach his kindergarten buddy a gender ideology lesson that violated his faith. After a long legal battle, we have officially secured a victory!

The Encinitas Union School District in California has agreed to allow parental notification and opt-outs when promoting gender ideology or other materials that may interfere with a family’s religious beliefs.

Your faithful support made this win possible.

The state of Washington is hiding runaway children (from any state) from their parents and facilitating so-called “gender-affirming” treatment behind their backs. No family should have to face the terror of having a child run away from home and hidden by the state.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear this case on December 7. We’re asking the Court to protect families before irreversible damage has been done.

We are grateful to partner with Gene Schaerr (@SchaerrJaffeLlp) on this important case.

Our wins at the U.S. Supreme Court have given Americans more religious freedom than we’ve had in over 50 years. But the work is far from over…

We are arguing a case at the U.S. Supreme Court on December 7 to protect families and children. The state of Washington is hiding runaway children from their parents and facilitating so-called “gender-affirming” treatment behind their backs. We are grateful to partner with Gene Schaerr (@SchaerrJaffeLlp) on this important case.

And we’re asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear 7 more of our cases. Now is the time to take a stand to protect religious liberty in America.

Congratulations to Kasdin Mitchell, whom the Senate just confirmed as a U.S. District Court Judge for the Northern District of Texas!  Judge Mitchell has a stellar record, having clerked for none other than Justice Clarence Thomas on the U.S. Supreme Court, and Judge William H. Pryor on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.

First Liberty is especially grateful to Judge Mitchell for her pro bono work while she was in private practice as a partner with Kirkland & Ellis LLP. Of note, prior to her confirmation, Judge Mitchell co-authored a friend-of-the-court brief in support of First Liberty’s clients in Woolard v. Thurmond.

Congratulations, Judge Kasdin Mitchell!

For over 30 years, YOU have enabled us to fight for people of faith whose religious freedom has been threatened. Because you give, our clients never receive a bill.

We couldn’t have fought this battle without your faithful support of First Liberty. Thank you!

The Amish want to live quiet lives according to their religious beliefs, but Mille Lacs County in Minnesota is making that impossible.

The county has moved its building-code application online and is refusing to make paper form accommodations. It is also refusing to issue building permits unless the Amish compromise their religious beliefs to meet modern-day building requirements.

This is religious discrimination! We’re fighting so that the Amish can live according to their religious beliefs in peace.

Washington state law says the government can hide runaway children (from anywhere in the U.S.) from their parents and facilitate so-called “gender-affirming” treatment behind their backs. We’ll be arguing for a group of parents at the U.S. Supreme Court on December 7! We’re asking the Court to protect them and their children…before it’s too late.

We are grateful to partner with Gene Schaerr (@SchaerrJaffeLlp) on this important case.

We’re fighting so the Ten Commandments monument can stay standing at the Arkansas Capitol! The Ten Commandments have had a significant impact on the development of Western Civilization and are one of the foundations of the American legal system.

The court’s ruling that the monument must come down distorts U.S. Supreme Court precedent that says displays like this one that are rooted in America’s history and tradition are Constitutional.

Along with the Arkansas Attorney General, we’re appealing and asking the appellate court to reverse the decision and protect this monument.

[First Liberty Institute @firstliberty_]

Each one of these cases plays a crucial role in our fight to protect religious freedom for all Americans.

Please pray for our clients, legal team, and that the U.S. Supreme Court will decide to hear all of these cases.

[First Liberty Institute @firstliberty_]

We’re asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a record number of our cases this year! And there are even more on the way. Pray that the Court would hear each of these important religious liberty cases.

Virginia declared Liberty U. student Bethany Hall ineligible for a state grant after she changed majors from "Music Education" to "Music & Worship."

We're asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse the ban on tuition assistance for students pursuing religious majors.

Today we remember the lives lost on 9/11, the heroes who stood up in the face of danger, and the families who never saw their loved ones again.

We remember the strength and resilience of the American people. And we reaffirm our commitment to protect the freedoms and principles that unite us together as “One Nation Under God.”

Never forget. 🇺🇸
