Can the government force you to pay a fee just to exercise your First Amendment rights?

The Center for American Liberty has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Bryan Conwell, a Christian evangelist who was cited with two misdemeanor trespass charges after peacefully displaying a pro-life sign at a public farmers market in Benson, Minnesota.

Brian wasn't selling anything. He wasn't disrupting the event. He simply stood on public property holding a sign expressing his sincerely held religious beliefs and spoke only with people who voluntarily approached him.

Instead of protecting his constitutional rights, city officials demanded that he pay $20 to register as a commercial vendor. When he refused, police issued him criminal citations carrying penalties of up to 90 days in jail and $1,000 in fines.

We believe this is a clear violation of the First Amendment.
There is no price tag on free speech.

In this video, Center for American Liberty CEO Mark Trammell explains why this case matters, what our lawsuit seeks, and why every American should care about protecting the right to peacefully express their beliefs in public.

The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a landmark ruling that will shape the future of women's sports and Title IX.

The Center for American Liberty has filed a new lawsuit against the Berkeley Police Department after officials failed to respond to a California Public Records Act request related to comedian Rob Schneider's appearance at UC Berkeley.

Following the event, violent protests and unrest erupted outside the venue. We want answers about how Berkeley officials and law enforcement prepared for the event, what steps were taken to protect free speech, and whether public officials fulfilled their responsibilities.

This lawsuit seeks critical records, including:
• Police body camera footage
• Event planning materials
• Communications and contracts between Berkeley Police and the University
• Other records related to security preparations and response efforts

Transparency matters. The public deserves to know what happened and whether government officials properly protected the constitutional rights of speakers and attendees.

This week, Center for American Liberty CEO Mark Trammell shares updates on two major legal battles impacting parental rights and free speech in America.

⚖️ In Rocklin Unified School District v. Public Employment Relations Board, CAL filed an amicus brief supporting the fundamental right of parents to know what is happening with their children in school — including policies surrounding gender identity and social transition secrecy.

🗣️ In Marek v. Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, CAL is defending Texas’ anti-SLAPP protections — critical safeguards that help ordinary Americans fight back against frivolous lawsuits designed to silence speech and intimidate critics.

📌 Were security decisions influenced by politics?
📌 Why the total blackout on records?

Kimberley Brock, a dedicated Nevada mom, made headlines when she respectfully questioned the display of a “Progress Pride” flag in her child’s classroom. Instead of engaging with her concerns, the Clark County School District (CCSD) blocked her from the district’s official X (formerly Twitter) account—a move that violated her First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

Today, we are thrilled to celebrate a major victory! After filing a federal civil rights lawsuit, CCSD has agreed to key reforms and restitution:

1.) CCSD updated its Terms of Use, clarifying the rules and creating a complaint procedure.
2.) Kimberley Brock has been unblocked and can now participate freely in the district’s “digital town square.”
3.) CCSD will pay $10,000 in legal fees to the Center for American Liberty.
