In less than two weeks, America will commemorate the sacrifice and heroism that resulted from the worst terrorist attack in our nation’s history. Yet, Mayor Bloomberg has not invited any clergy – of any faith – and there will be no prayer at the official 9/11 10th anniversary memorial service in New York. No prayer?

In the days and weeks following 9/11 – and even during the chaos of that tragic day – thousands of Americans lifted up our nation and all those suffering in prayer. It is not appropriate to commemorate 9/11 without prayer.

The ACLJ is taking action, on behalf of thousands of Americans, demanding that Mayor Bloomberg include prayer at the 9/11 ceremony. But what if there was no ACLJ, no prayer on 9/11, no one fighting to protect the cross at Ground Zero or to prevent an Islamic mosque from going up on sacred ground?

We need your generous support to continue making a difference, fighting for the causes that matter to you. During our Matching Challenge, your gift is literally doubled – every $100 becomes $200 – by a generous group of donors. Our deadline is in two days, and we are still $80,000 short of our goal for this Matching Challenge opportunity.

You tax-deductible gift today will be matched, literally doubling your impact, to help provide the resources we need to continue defending faith, life, and liberty. Will you stand with the ACLJ today?

As a special thank-you for your gift of $35 or more, we would like you to be among the first to receive our powerful new film, Forever Changed: 9/11 in Remembrance. We do not want you to ever forget the difference that heroes made on that day.

As Tim Brown, a firefighter and first responder at 9/11, recounts in this documentary, he was comforted that day as he saw average citizens rallying to help their fellowman. In the midst of all that tragedy, people were willing to risk everything to make a difference.

Help us continue to make a difference, and help us reach our $750,000 Matching Challenge goal today with your generous contribution.

The ACLJ is continuing to make a difference, here in America and around the world.

We are actively defending the memory of all those who sacrificed their lives on 9/11 and their families against an atheist group that is seeking to tear down the Ground Zero Cross, a symbol of hope and comfort to so many following 9/11. We are also working to ensure that prayer will be permitted at this year’s 9/11 memorial service at Ground Zero.

The ACLJ’s impact is not limited to our work at Ground Zero. We are in court protecting pro-life pregnancy centers’ life-saving mission by preventing their shutdown. We are also defending the Ten Commandments at the Supreme Court.

Our work spans across the globe as we are attempting to save a Christian pastor’s life in Iran who is facing execution for his faith. And we continue to defend the sovereignty of the State of Israel against terrorist organizations and nations seeking to destroy it.

None of these things would be possible without your support.

As our Matching Challenge deadline is in just two days, we need your support now more than ever. Please make a tax-deductible gift today and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar. We need your support today in order to reach our $750,000 goal and to have the resources we need to continue these fights.

We receive requests for legal help every day, but we can only help as many as our resources will allow. You can make a difference.

Thank you for your continued support for the ACLJ as we continue to strive to protect your liberties.

Thank you,

Jay Sekulow
ACLJ Chief Counsel
