Christians threatened with arrest in Richmond for sharing Gospel, lawsuit filed

The suit alleges that police officers with the city violated the men’s First Amendment rights by demanding that they stop their “disturbing” and “offending” religious expression, which consisted of peacefully preaching to small groups, one-on-one witnessing, and handing out tracts.

In Canada, a Crucial Win for Free Speech and Religious Liberty
Cases being decided in international courts have growing implications for American jurisprudence, as activist judges in the U.S. are being urged by the ACLU and its allies – in and out of government – to search foreign law for cues on how to “expand and update” the “living, breathing” Constitution. That’s why, through the Alliance Defense Fund “American Sovereignty Project,” we have increased our effort in cases the world over to protect you and to limit their impact in the courtrooms of our nation.
