Liberty Counsel will soon present oral argument to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in a lawsuit against the city of Seattle on behalf of Christian organizers for a grassroots revival event called MayDay USA.
Mat StaverHOST
The city unlawfully denied the MayDay organizers a permit to peacefully assemble at a traditional downtown location due to its religious message.
Mat StaverHOST
Instead, the city steered the event to a park in a predominantly LGBTQ community, where violent attacks were made toward the group.
Mat StaverHOST
The plaintiffs have asked for a permanent injunction restraining the city from continuing its unlawful permitting process that violates the rights to free speech, religious exercise, peaceable assembly, and equal protection, as well as granting them equal access to Seattle's streets and traditional public forums.
