MORE OF YOUR RIGHTS LOST: La Crosse City Council Makes Illegal Certain Counseling That Affirms Original Gender, While Allowing Counseling That Encourages Child Castration and Mastectomies

It has been almost four weeks since the La Crosse City Council passed an ordinance that seeks to punish disfavored speech in La Crosse, a violation of first amendment rights. On September 8, 2022, the council voted 8-4 to ban so called "conversion therapy" with minors.

Update -- Ban on Conversion Therapy/ Call to action

On Thursday, September 8, the La Crosse City Council went into about a half-an-hour closed session to discuss possible litigation on passing an ordinance banning conversion therapy. After coming out of closed session, a motion to postpone the ban indefinitely was seconded, but failed to pass a full council vote. No one seconded council member Chris Woodard's motion to open into a public hearing. The council adopted the ban on conversion therapy after about a 20 minute discussion in open session and voted 8-4 (1 abstain) to adopt the ban on conversion therapy.

Take Action to Oppose Violations of the First Amendment

Friends,

 

The Save Your Rights Coalition is asking those of you who can make it to come to City Hall this evening for two reasons.

 

  1. To show your support to the City Council in opposition to the so called ban on conversion therapy vote taking place this evening.  Bring signs if you're willing and able.
  2. Join in a Prayer Vigil prior to the 6pm meeting.  Arrive at 5:30 at the entrance to City Hall. 

 

Call to Action After J&A 3-1 Vote

Friends,

The Judiciary and Administration Committee just voted on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, to recommend to the city council to strengthen the Ban on Conversion Therapy by weakening it (3 - 1).

The recommendation is to have only medical/professionals be banned from their free speech & religious liberties rights.  If you can't include one or more segments of society in the Ordinance, how can you include any?
