For sure, more prayers. EEOC might become a different animal during the next administration, and be of more help. But government is government. There exist numerous public interest law firms which have protecting religious liberty high on their list of priorities. What often happens is that you agree to make media appearances which helps them to fundraise, and this is what takes care of up front legal costs. Any of these cases takes a long time.

Interesting you bring this up because a neat lawyer who may end up representing me is a part of PJI, a Seattle faith based non-profit firm that lines up with exactly what you said. Your post may be another bread crumb leading me down the trail. Thanks again!

See how the financing works out with that group. Have they argued before state or the U.S. supreme courts ?? Some are large enough that they take the case on contingency with Zero legal costs to the litigant, as long as they agree to some publicity. (Good idea to leave kids out of the publicity.) I'm glad that the legal environment for this will become friendlier overall in the near future.

Yes, they have several under their belt now and are all across the US it appears. I'm impressed. Thanks!

Super! (I'm a nut for the 1st Amendment, and look forward to you obtaining the justice that it specifies.) 🙏

Man I sure hope for victory! Even for the sake of all those still at that 'ol gray space there on the other side of town that feel like they've lost their voice. ;oP
