Judy* and her family would likely be homeless, if it weren’t for you.

This year, Liberty Counsel WON a historic, first-of-its-kind class action settlement against a private employer, NorthShore University HealthSystem, on behalf of more than 500 health care workers, including Judy, who were fired for refusing to give up their religious freedom RIGHT to reject the abortion-linked COVID shots.

Read on to learn how your generous support helped change Judy’s life. This historic, first-of-its-kind class action settlement was just approved by the court on December 19. — Mat

Judy* is an acute care nurse named as “Jane Doe 3” in our class action lawsuit against NorthShore University HealthSystem, which has 18,000 employees in Illinois. Judy is a woman of deep faith.

Judy has failing eyesight. Her husband suffers from unpredictable, life-threatening swelling of the throat and other conditions. Her son struggles with severe depression and suicidal ideation that require constant psychiatric care and counseling.

And if all that were not enough, Judy’s father had a debilitating stroke seven years ago. Judy moved her father into their home so the family could provide the constant care her father needs.

Judy is the sole breadwinner for her family. By the grace of God, her family had the income and health insurance her family needs. But NorthShore’s unlawful shot mandate meant that Judy would be jobless on November 1.

Judy contracted COVID in 2020, and fully recovered. She knows that taking a COVID shot when one already has natural antibodies can be dangerous.

But most of all, Judy’s deep faith prohibited her from taking any shots tested or developed with aborted fetal cell lines.

NorthShore was illegally denying ALL religious exemptions. Without the income and health insurance Judy’s job provided, she says her family would be in desperate medical straits and, likely, homeless.

Judy had a choice to make—risk her job and family security or obey the Lord. She chose to obey the Lord.

When our demand letter was ignored, Liberty Counsel filed a class action lawsuit to stop this mandate!

NorthShore was forced to pay Judy and her fellow co-workers $10,337,500 in compensation and reinstate their positions after firing them for their religious beliefs. This case was a historic, first-of-its-kind class action settlement against a private employer on behalf of more than 500 health care workers who were unlawfully discriminated against and denied religious exemptions from the COVID shot mandate.

This case was a shot across the bow to employers unlawfully restricting employees’ religious freedom rights.

Because of YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT, Judy and her family no longer face a choice between serving God and serving the unlawful, antireligious demands of an employer.

Sadly, religious liberty is under attack in America like never before. We need YOUR HELP to keep religious freedom free.
