Our attorney, Michael Sussman, is suing Governor Cuomo and New York State for repealing the religious exemption to vaccination for children on June 13, 2019. So few people realized just how significant this attack on civil liberties was at the time, and few realize how important it still is.
This Tuesday Connecticut is fighting to keep its religious exemption to vaccination. Here is John Gilmore’s call to everyone in the tri-state area to come and fight for the civil liberties of those in Connecticut and their children – mk
