Today was an important day for Lacey Smith, Marli Brown and the First Liberty legal team.

A few years ago, Lacey and Marli were investigated, questioned and fired by Alaska Airlines for asking faith-based questions on an employee-only website about the company’s support of the Equality Act.

That was after Alaska Airlines encouraged its employees to share their diverse perspectives and ask questions.

When we originally filed a lawsuit on Lacey and Marli’s behalf, a federal judge ruled in favor of Alaska Airlines without ever allowing their case to be heard by a jury.

This ruling can’t be allowed to stand.

That’s why we have asked the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse the lower court’s ruling.

Specifically, we asked the court to honor Lacey and Marli’s right to have their day in court and have the merits of their case argued before a jury of their peers.

Watch a short preview of today’s proceedings with First Liberty’s David Hacker and then we’ll send you into the 9th Circuit courtroom for all of the action.

After today, there is still much work to do for this case.

Winning today doesn’t mean that this case is over. It means that the real fight to put an end to Alaska Airlines’ workplace discrimination begins. It means that Lacey and Marli get their day in court and the merits of their case gets heard by a jury of their peers.

That’s why your support is needed now more than ever. Your gift today will give our legal team the firm foundation they need to continue this critical stand for faith.

Join us in this fight to stop religious discrimination in the workplace and help us make sure that Alaska Airlines learns to respect its employees’ sincerely held religious beliefs.
