Church Victory: Peaceable Gathering Restored!
After a nearly two and a half year legal battle challenging the City of La Habra Heights’ discriminatory application of its noise ordinance against Word Aflame Tabernacle, Inc, Advocates for Faith & Freedom has secured a settlement with the City of La Habra Heights on behalf of Word Aflame. As part of the settlement, the City of La Habra Heights will pay a total of $200,000.00 and consistent with applicable law, including the United States Constitution, the City agrees to “enforce the La Habra Heights Municipal Code in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner.”
This settlement follows an earlier $140,000.00 settlement with the State and Los Angeles County defendants in the same matter. “While no monetary amount will ever repay Word Aflame for the challenges they faced while gathering to worship due to the City’s discriminatory actions, we are happy to see some vindication on behalf of Word Aflame’s religious rights and are hopeful the City will follow the law and not target places of worship moving forward,” commented Julianne Fleischer, Legal Counsel at Advocates for Faith & Freedom.
Thank you for your unwavering prayers and support! Your partnership enables these victories!
For the Lord your God is going with you!
He will fight for you against your enemies,
and he will give you victory!

Press Release | California Public School Teacher Fired For Her Religious Beliefs Sues California School District
ADVOCATES FOR FAITH & FREEDOM

Advocates filed a lawsuit this week challenging Jurupa Unified School District in Riverside, California after the wrongful termination of public school teacher, Jessica Tapia, for her religious beliefs. Her termination comes after Jessica’s refusal to participate in harmful gender affirming school policies, such as allowing students to use a bathroom or locker room that does not match their biological sex.
The Jurupa Unified School District mandates that teachers and support staff participate in gender affirming care that is deceptive to parents, endangers students in school changing rooms and bathrooms, and directs faculty and staff to refrain from expressing their personal views and opinions on these policies; a clear violation of their First Amendment Rights.
