Dear Friends,
As many of you have heard, two weeks ago, Mississippi passed the most comprehensive bill to date protecting the freedom of conscience as it pertains to citizens' beliefs about marriage. The law preserves the freedom of all Mississippians to peacefully live, worship, and work according to their religious or moral beliefs about marriage. It ensures that the government does not discriminate against or punish churches, and other organizations, such as adoption agencies, schools, and charities, by denying them tax exemptions, contracts, accreditation, or licenses simply for following their deeply held beliefs about marriage. It also safeguards against the government forcing citizens to surrender free speech and religious freedom in order to run their businesses. I've attached the language if you're interested.
Per usual, there's been significant misrepresentations and attacks on both the law and Governor Bryant since its enactment. To expose some of those mischaracterizations and to tell the truth about the bill, who it protects, and diffuse common attacks (isn't this just a license to discriminate?), we are doing a Live Feed conversation on ADF's FB page this evening. We will go live at 6:30 pm EST tonight. Please consider sharing the Live Feed from ADF's page through your FB page. You can also encourage people to ask questions @alliancedefends #MSliveandletlive.
Please help us spread the word so we can help people understand the good of this bill and how courageous Gov. Bryant was in signing it—championing freedom and ensuring that in Mississippi tolerance remains a two way street. We would love to partner together to create national momentum about the good of this bill.
What: Alliance Defending Freedom Attorneys Kellie Fiedorek and Casey Mattox on Mississippi's Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act. Learn the truth and get your questions answered.
When: Today, Thursday, April 14, 2016 at 6:30 pm EST
Why: To explain the bill, and tell the stories of who it protects
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or Bob Trent (btrent@adflegal.org).
Blessings,
Kellie
