Galatians 5:1 says, “It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.”

Since 1989, Liberty Counsel has had the privilege of protecting religious freedom.

Here is just a sample of our recent victories:

• We won a major lawsuit on behalf of Child Evangelism Fellowship and its Good News Clubs against the Hawaii State Department of Education and six school districts. Now the after-school Bible clubs must be given equal access as other similarly situated clubs on public school campuses throughout the state.

• As a result of our demand letter, Montgomery County Public Schools in Virginia restored a substitute teacher to her position after unlawfully removing her over religious and political beliefs she expressed about gender ideology on social media.

• We assisted Justin Aguilar, a North Carolina high school valedictorian who was nearly censored for his faith-filled graduation speech. Justin later testified at President Donald Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, and his main message was that school districts nationwide do not need to be afraid of religious speech.

• After receiving our demand letter, the University of Florida granted a religious accommodation for a licensed minister to attend religious meetings during the university’s fall recruitment season.

• We intervened on behalf of three Collier County, Florida, parents to help stop Naples Pride, an LGBTQ advocacy group, from performing a grossly inappropriate and sexually explicit drag show in view of children near a playground.

• As a result of our demand letter, Orange County Public Schools in Florida directed West Orange High School to cease its weekly “Witchy Wednesday” video series aired school-wide. The series was aired during morning announcements providing instruction on spells, magic, moon worship, and other witchcraft rituals.

• We won a preliminary injunction on behalf of Child Evangelism Fellowship and its after-school Good News Clubs giving them equal access to school facilities in Oakland, California. This ended two years of censorship.

These are some of our ongoing battles:

• We are defending Calvary Chapel Belfast in Maine against the University of Maine System that has discriminated against the church in a property sale over its religious beliefs. LGBTQ advocates objected to the church purchasing the property because the church teaches marriage is the union of one man and one woman. The university then rescinded the sale.

• We are defending a single mother before the Maine Supreme Court who is barred by an unconstitutional court order from taking her 12-year-old daughter to ANY church or religious event (including Christmas and Easter), from reading religious literature and/or the Bible, and from associating with her Christian friends from church.

• We filed a lawsuit on behalf of an Idaho Army National Guard infantry officer against Governor Brad Little and two army generals for unlawfully removing the officer from command solely due to his personal Christian expression on biblical sexuality made outside of the military environment. The “No Christians in Command” policy is unconstitutional.

• We sent a demand letter to the Clackamas County Health, Housing, and Human Services Department on behalf of a licensed social worker facing unlawful retaliation for not following the county’s pronoun policy due to his religious beliefs. Clackamas County, Oregon, requires all clinical staff to “use” a child’s “preferred pronouns.”

• We filed a lawsuit against the City of Seattle, Mayor Bruce Harrell, and Chief of Police Shon Barnes on behalf of Christian organizers for Mayday USA, a grassroots revival event. The city forced the event to a park in a predominantly “LGBTQ+ community” where antifa and LGBTQ activists attached the group with balloons filled with urine.

• We intervened in a Florida court on behalf of Coastal Family Church and a pastor in Flagler Beach to dismiss a meritless lawsuit brought by Flagler Square – JAX, Inc., which is seeking to halt the church’s services from being held at a commercial strip mall.

• We filed a lawsuit against the New York-based company Trane Technologies on behalf of a former employee for unlawfully denying him a religious accommodation and firing him over his religious beliefs. He had worked there for 16 years as an HVAC technician and asked for a religious accommodation to avoid working alone with a female colleague who is not his wife.

• We are defending Jews for Jesus in a frivolous defamation lawsuit brought by an alleged Orthodox Jewish teacher and aspiring rabbi who claims the organization deliberately defamed him by using a blurred stock photo on social media that he says associated him with their Christian outreach ministry.

• We sent a demand letter to the East Baton Rouge Parish Library on behalf of bivocational Pastor Luke Ash who was unlawfully fired from his job as a library services technician for refusing to use false pronouns for a female colleague.

• We filed a lawsuit against the University of Arizona on behalf of former ethics Professor Daniel Grossenbach, who was fired after publicly advocating for parental rights at local school board meetings where his children attend school. The public school policies promoted teachers secretly surveying children about their gender and sexuality. The university unlawfully fired him based on anonymous complaints about his religious speech and advocacy.
