Larry’s sign did not have pictures showing the gruesome reality of abortion, nor did he harass or intimidate anyone. His quiet protest was entirely peaceful. Yet, the charter school contended that Larry’s peaceful, pro-life witness (not the murder of unborn children right next door) caused "emotional distress" and was a "nuisance" to the school.

Liberty Counsel has been fighting this case for nearly a decade. Every time Two Rivers lost, they doubled down, dragging Larry and this case all the way to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which once again sided with Larry, Liberty Counsel, and freedom of speech.

After dragging Larry through nearly a decade of litigation and having been found by the Court of Appeals to violate Larry’s constitutional rights, the school now claims it should not have to pay because it is a publicly funded charter school.

Yet this school’s administration chose to pursue a lengthy legal battle to try to deny Larry his First Amendment right. And this school chose to fight Larry every step of the way, including on appeal for nearly 10 years.  

The law is clear, individuals and entities may not use lawfare to rob others of their constitutional freedom. Sadly, the only way to stop this abuse of the legal system and threats to liberty is to financially punish the perpetrators.

Had almost any other law firm in the country been representing Larry, he would be bankrupt by now.

That’s why your financial support is so important. Liberty Counsel never charges our clients, because few could afford to defend themselves against decades-long lawsuits often funded with public tax dollars.

Since our founding in 1989, Liberty Counsel has won 37 cases it argued or briefed before the U.S. Supreme Court. We’re not done winning yet. But we cannot do this lifesaving work without YOU, the faithful Liberty Counsel supporter.

Thanks to our adherence to biblical stewardship principles, Liberty Counsel is one of the very few nonprofits where 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to our mission.

Every single cent of every donation is spent on educational programs and legal help defending life, religious liberty, and the natural family. Not one dime of your gift is spent on salaries, administration, or fundraising costs.

Because of our winning record and our financial stewardship, a special Challenge Grant has been established that will DOUBLE the impact of every donation made today. Please, support our legal fund so we can defend LIFE.
