In a decisive victory for the will of the people, Mercy Peña will retain her duly elected seat on the Greenfield School District Board of Trustees following the court's denial of a last-ditch effort to overturn her hard-earned grassroots victory. The ruling confirms what has been clear from the start - Ms. Peña’s victory reflects the true voice of the voters.

Today, two female high school athletes from California, K.S. and T.S., along with their families, and the Save Girls’ Sports association, filed an amended federal lawsuit against the State of California, Riverside Unified School District, and school officials. The lawsuit now challenges AB 1266, the radical California law that requires schools to allow biological males to compete in girls’ sports and use female bathrooms. This law conflicts with federal Title IX protections, which were established to ensure fairness, safety, and equal opportunities for female students and athletes.

Advocates for Faith & Freedom secured a critical victory for Shawna Velasco, a former employee of the Fallbrook Union Elementary School District (FUESD) in Southern California, who faced discrimination and retaliation under the guise of COVID-19 workplace policies. To settle the lawsuit, FUESD agreed to pay $375,000 in damages and attorneys’ fees. This settlement marks a significant win for individual liberty and accountability in the public education system.

Advocates for Faith and Freedom, together with North Carolina Values Institute, filed an amicus curiae brief in the Chiles v. Salazar case, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a case which challenges Colorado’s “Censorship Law” for licensed counselors. This law targets faith-based counseling practices by prohibiting speech that aligns with traditional, religious values regarding gender identity and sexual orientation.

In a victory for free speech and religious liberty, the San Bernardino County District Attorney has dismissed all charges against Arturo Fernandez, a California street preacher arrested while peacefully preaching outside a public events arena in Ontario, California. Pastor Fernandez was unlawfully charged with trespassing despite remaining on a public sidewalk, conducting himself lawfully, and exercising his First Amendment rights.

Earlier this month, Pastor Greg Phelps and his church, Calvary Chapel Red Bluff, became the target of misleading allegations and sensationalist media coverage following their participation in lawful ballot collection during the recent election. The church, like many others, offered its congregation a convenient way to exercise their voting rights in full compliance with California’s laws. Despite this, media outlets such as the SF Gate have unfairly sought to paint this civic-minded initiative as questionable or improper.

EIPCa’s audit showed an unexplained discrepancy of 43,625 votes between the certified election results and the data provided by the Secretary of State’s office.

According to records, over 1,000,000 more voters were registered in California than there were eligible citizens as of April 28, 2020. Additionally, appellants in the case allege that 124,000 more votes were officially certified than the number of voters recorded in state records for the 2020 election.

Yesterday, a federal court dismissed a suit against Grace Calvary Chapel pastor Josh Blevins. The plaintiff specifically sought to hold Pastor Josh Blevins liable for writing a letter to the St. Joseph City Council posting on his personal Facebook page and preaching a sermon at his church – all urging against an LGBTQ Pastor’s reappointment to a local library board.

Lawsuit filed by EIPCa alleges that the Governor and Secretary of State violated constitutional election procedures by sending out mail-in ballots to every active voter in the registry and waving signature verification requirements on those ballots.
