Preacher Cited for Preaching the Gospel in Georgia
City of Forest Park v. Cantrell
STATUS:
Ongoing
For years, Jason Cantrell lawfully preached the Gospel outside an abortion clinic near Atlanta, using a city-issued sound permit. Despite full compliance, Forest Park police cited him after a single complaint, declaring his permit “void.” The ACLJ is defending Jason against this unconstitutional “heckler’s veto,” which allows speech to be silenced based on listener objections. His case highlights a growing threat to free speech and religious liberty in public spaces.
