Liberty Counsel celebrated a clear victory in court last month against the radical Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). But our team could barely pause to read the Virginia court’s ruling before having to return our full attention to the SPLC’s major legal attack against us in Vermont and other critical matters.

Which is why I ask you to partner with Liberty Counsel now as we fight one of the nation’s most well-funded, far-Left attack machines.

Please consider a gift now and see below for incredible details on the SPLC’s assault. –Mat

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) wants to destroy Liberty Counsel. And it is using its enormous financial resources to file harassing, frivolous lawsuits.

In 2017, the SPLC added both Liberty Counsel and me, personally, to a massive ongoing lawsuit filed in Vermont. The SPLC’s goal was clear — to weaken or even destroy Liberty Counsel by tying us up in court and gaining a judgment against us that could cripple this ministry.

I was dismissed from the case, but Liberty Counsel was not. That wasn’t enough

for the SPLC. They wanted to take this ministry down while also destroying my reputation as an attorney. So last year, they filed yet another lawsuit, naming both me and Liberty Counsel — this time in Virginia.

Of course, our legal team has been fighting back in both states. Just a few weeks ago, a federal judge in Virginia heard our arguments and threw out the SPLC’s lawsuit. But the one in Vermont is ongoing.

Your generous support now will help us fight this battle. The SPLC has a huge legal war chest—its endowment is nearly half a billion dollars. Will you help us take on the ruthless giant on the left with a gift now?

+  +  The Hateful SPLC Has Gone Too Far...

It has become increasingly clear that the SPLC’s goal is to completely destroy Liberty Counsel. The SPLC has publicly stated its clear intent to destroy groups like ours.

The litigation in Vermont poses a very serious threat to Liberty Counsel as an organization, and to me as one of the leaders of the conservative movement, to defend religious liberty against an increasingly aggressive LGBT agenda.

Not because Liberty Counsel has done anything wrong. It hasn’t. But this is a Vermont lawsuit and we have to spend time and resources to defend against this assault.

+  +  Part of a Larger Anti-Faith Agenda...

The particulars of this Vermont case also reveal the depths to which the SPLC and the LGBT community will go to attack us.

The suit involves a child custody battle between a lesbian and her former partner

who later became a Christian and left the homosexual lifestyle. In 2017, five to six years after the lawsuit was filed, the SPLC became co-counsel. One of their first actions on behalf of their client, Janet Jenkins, was to add Liberty Counsel to the list of defendants.

While we were representing Lisa Miller and her young daughter Isabella, the two

suddenly disappeared in September 2009. We now know from published reports that Lisa fled the county. We had no knowledge of her plan to run, and no knowledge of where she went. But the SPLC alleges we must have been part of helping her escape the jurisdiction of the courts. Of course, this is a lie.

This attack is part of a broader agenda by the SPLC and other radical groups seeking to destroy their opposition through lies and intimidation.

+  +  Picking Us Off One by One...

Having inflicted economic damage on Liberty Counsel and others through a number of fraudulent tactics, the SPLC then took its attacks on us to a new level through this lawsuit.

That’s why I’m turning to friends like you to help me fight back and win against the SPLC at this critical time!

The demands of this case — combined with other pressing matters such as our defense of Sandra Merritt against Planned Parenthood and the State of California — have stretched our resources. But we must press forward to defeat them.

Thankfully, some generous friends made available a $100,000 Challenge Grant for our online supporters to help with this and other battles.

Because of this $100,000 Liberty Challenge, your generous gift now will be effectively doubled in its impact. And by making a tax-deductible gift now, you’ll help us expose and defeat the SPLC while we continue other vital efforts for faith, family, life and liberty.

Will you please consider helping us with a special gift now?

Our legal battle against the SPLC has been arduous. It has consumed countless hours of legal work. But we must fight on. And I must commit all the necessary resources to ensure that LGBT activists do not succeed in their mission to discredit or damage Liberty Counsel.

Thank you for your prayers. And thanks in advance for partnering with Liberty Counsel at this critical time!

For faith and liberty,

Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel

P.S. The SPLC’s legal attack against us continues — despite our recent victory. I urgently need your help to ensure that we can dedicate all the necessary resources to defeat the SPLC’s lawsuit against us and continue other vital efforts.
