Changing the legal landscape means doing more than just filing lawsuits to defend our existing rights.
Protecting our rights means being smart about how we use the legal system
Simply filing lawsuits to defend our existing rights isn’t enough. We have to rebuild the wall of separation between religion and government within the court system and use every tool available to expand on those rights.
