For the past few years, people have been bullied, threatened and
canceled because of their faith.

The reason? The radical Left knows that faith and fear cannot exist
together.

That's why fear has become the go-to tool for anti-faith
activists. They believe that the fear of being canceled, of losing
your job or of being arrested will keep you from expressing your faith
in public.

But that's not always the case. Sometimes, people take bold
stands for faith in their neighborhoods, at work and in their
hometowns.

And here are a few examples of the fights going on right now where
people are standing for faith:

* Rabbi Hertzel is fighting back against his Florida
homeowner's association which continues to discriminate
against him because of his faith.

* Valerie Kloosterman is fighting back against Michigan Health
after being unjustly fired for requesting a religious
accommodation because she was unable to affirm gender statements
that violated her Christian beliefs.

* Pastor Chris Avell is also fighting back after he was arrested
for refusing to send the homeless in Bryan, Ohio back on the
streets in subzero temperatures.

And now we can add Marisol Arroyo-Castro to that list.

Marisol is fighting back after a faith-based attack by officials at
the New Britain School District in Connecticut. They have gone as far
as threatening to fire her for having a small crucifix in her personal
space near her desk.

Watch this quick message from Kelly Shackelford to get the latest
update on Marisol's case and information on everything
that's happening at First Liberty throughout April.

At First Liberty, we won't stand by when everyday Americans like
Marisol, Valerie, Pastor Chris and Rabbi Hertzel come under attack for
their faith.

And thankfully, because of the financial support of people like you,
we don't have to.

Instead, we're taking action to stop blatant religious
discrimination.

Right now, we're fighting for Pastor Chris in three different
courts in Ohio, for Valerie at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and
for Rabbi Hertzel in District Court in Florida.

And just two weeks ago, we filed a lawsuit in federal court along with
a complaint with the EEOC on behalf of Marisol.

Please understand, it's only because of faithful supporters like
you that we can fight for our clients in courtrooms all over the
country.

And no matter how long their cases last or how many different courts
we must fight in, you can be sure that we won't stop fighting
until we put an end to these types of faith-based attacks.

That's why I'm asking for your financial support. We
can't fight and win these cases without you.

Your support ensures that First Liberty's expert legal team has
the resources needed to fight back against local governments and
school districts, well-funded homeowner's associations and
multi-billion-dollar corporations.

Your gift will not only help us fight the good fight for faith today,
it will help secure the blessings of liberty for tomorrow.
