Photographer Emilee Carpenter wants to create art consistent with her convictions, including her beliefs on marriage. But New York state officials deem this to be illegal. State officials are attempting to compel her to create photographs and write blog posts that would force her to celebrate a view of marriage she believes to be false or face six-figure fines and even jail time.

Emilee is standing up for the freedom of speech of all Americans—much like Jack Phillips, who has been in court for over a decade because of a Colorado law that has been used to punish Jack for not creating custom cakes expressing messages that violate his beliefs.

Defending the First Amendment is not just critical to defending our clients’ legal rights—it is key to building a culture that respects the diverse views and freedom of speech of all Americans and rejects the scourge of cancel culture.
