First Liberty recently asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear our case involving Gabriel Olivier.
Gabe is an evangelical Christian who wants to share his faith with others. Standing outside of well-attended events, he shares the Gospel, hoping to start conversations and reach as many people as possible.
But the City of Brandon, Mississippi issued an unconstitutional ordinance that bans Gabe from communicating his religious beliefs to others in a city park. They forced him to go to a remote “protest” area where his message can’t be heard or seen. He was arrested and fined when he didn’t stay there.
Gabe challenged the local ordinance in federal court. But the court dismissed his constitutional claim, without even considering the merits of it.
This week on First Liberty Live!, Senior Counsel Nate Kellum explains why this case impacts the religious liberty, free speech and due process rights of all Americans and why the Supreme Court should take it up:
