First Liberty Institute Statement Regarding Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker Lifting Restrictions on Churches
Springfield, IL—The following statement may be attributed to Kelly Shackelford, President, CEO, and Chief Counsel to First Liberty Institute:
“The massive religious discrimination and criminal threats against churches is over in Illinois. This was a disgraceful part of our history during the pandemic. We are grateful to President Trump for his leadership in urging Governors across America to restore religious liberty and allow Americans to return to their places of worship.”
