Calgary pro-life students need financial support

I just received a message from Sean Murphy of the Catholic Civil Rights League. He relays a note from John Carpay, the lawyer representing the pro-life club at the University of Calgary. The Faith and Freedom Alliance is a society consisting of representatives from different Christian denominations in Canada and different Christian groups, including the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada and the Catholic Civil Rights League:

You should be aware that the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) is no longer providing legal representation to the Campus Pro-Life students at the University of Calgary, who are resisting the university’s censorship efforts.

Accordingly, the University of Calgary students have asked me to continue representing them.

I have agreed to do so, and am honoured by their request.

Fortunately, another registered charity, the Faith and Freedom Alliance, has decided to take on the University of Calgary students’ case by receiving donations to pay for continued legal representation for the students, and by providing official tax receipts to those who donate.

Those interested in donating money in support of campus free speech should make their cheque payable to “Faith and Freedom Alliance” and mail to the address here below.

  1. THANK YOU for assuming this role.It is truly frightening to follow the issue of free speech on college campuses. However, I am greatly encouraged to see many articulate and dedicated women and men who are in the forefront of the battle. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
