Press Release:

    GREENSBORO, N.C.     In settlement of a lawsuit that Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed on behalf of several pro-life citizens who were arrested for engaging in peaceful prayer and sidewalk counseling outside an abortion facility, Greensboro city officials admitted that the pro-life citizens were cited for their "exercise of constitutionally protected First Amendment rights."

    As part of the settlement, the city agreed that the First Amendment protects engaging in pro-life advocacy on public sidewalks and further agreed to uphold citizens' First Amendment rights in any future proclamation order related to a public-health emergency like COVID-19. Based on the city's admission of wrongdoing and guarantees of future protections, the pro-life advocates-members of the Christian, pro-life ministry Love Life-agreed to forgo seeking damages from the city. The Love Life members include Justin Reeder, Carl Ubinas, Jason Oesterreich, Isaiah Burner, Andre Gonzalez, Leroy Stokes, Jr., Richard Whittier, and Jon McAtee. In light of the settlement, ADF attorneys filed a joint stipulation of dismissal Friday in the case, Global Impact Ministries v. City of Greensboro. Guilford County settled its portion of the lawsuit in February.
