🚨Case Update 🚨We will file an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Russell Johnson et al v. City of Seattle et al after the district court denied its motion for a preliminary injunction against Seattle’s unconstitutional event permit process. In May 2025, Seattle unlawfully denied the organizers of the grassroots revival event Mayday USA a permit to peacefully assemble at the traditional Pike Street downtown location due to its religious message. Instead, the city steered the May 24, 2025, event to Cal Anderson Park in a predominantly “LGBTQ+ community” where violent attacks from agitators ensued. The city’s unconstitutional permitting scheme cannot withstand First Amendment scrutiny and causes irreparable harm to free speech. 🔗More on this update: vist.ly/4vwnb
