On June 29, FFRF Legal Director Rebecca S. Markert appeared on the C-SPAN series, “Washington Journal,” to discuss the recent decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court. She appeared opposite Daniel Suhr, managing attorney at Liberty Justice Center, a conservative legal organization that claims to protect constitutional rights. During the 60-minute broadcast, the two attorneys fielded calls from across the country.
Chris Sweeny, an FFRF member from Arkansas, hosted an FFRF table at the Bentonville Farmer’s Market on May 28. “I had a very successful first FFRF event,” Sweeny writes. “I engaged no fewer than 50 people, handed out all of the flyers and most of the buttons, and collected 10 new contacts (several of who said they would try to join our June 12 meetup). I definitely had more positive feedback than I expected, and while there were certainly some detractors, I am very excited for what lies ahead.”
Pat Brodbent, Claudette StPierre and Marci Radin of the Denver Chapter of FFRF work a tent during Denver Pridefest in June, selling merchandise and talking with passersby.
“We got a ton of traffic at our booth,” said StPierre, president of the Denver group. “Of course, a very receptive crowd helps! We had so many people interested in our message and the organization especially after the Supreme Court ruling last week. We raised over $1,500 in donations!”
