Newsom's Covid Fines Against Church

Calvary Chapel refused to follow the orders of Leftist government officials in California by continuing to hold worship services and not enforcing California Governor Gavin Newsom's mask mandates during the pandemic lockdowns.

Their courage in exercising their First Amendment rights resulted in over $1.2 million in government fines. This case perfectly represents the kind of religious liberty battle the ACLJ was founded to fight.

The weaponization of government against religious liberty that Calvary Chapel San Jose is facing should concern every American who values religious liberty – and that's why we're taking this case all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States.
