Urgent Need: Help Defend Livia and Defeat Censorship

Can you imagine being prosecuted for offering conversation?

In Britain today, that’s not fiction out of George Orwell’s 1984 dystopia. It’s reality for Christian and retired medical scientist Dr. Livia Tossici-Bolt.

Livia was prosecuted and CONVICTED for breaching a “buffer zone” around an abortion facility—just because she held a sign reading, “Here to talk if you want.”

The judge ruled that her sign was enough to constitute “intimidation.” She’s been criminalized for offering to talk. And the court ordered her to pay more than $25,000 in prosecution costs.

Like you, Livia believes that every life matters. She is happy to talk to anyone in a difficult situation, including those facing an abortion.

“There’s nothing wrong with offering to speak to people in need. There’s nothing wrong with two adults engaging in a consensual conversation on the street. I shouldn’t be treated like a criminal just for this,” Livia has said.

But she has been.

Livia’s story is just one of the latest examples of the censorship trend spreading across the globe. Even the Trump administration is monitoring her case and is concerned about the undeniable crackdown on free speech in Britain.

YOU can help defeat censorship!

We’re backing Livia’s legal defense as we consider all options for appeal—and standing up to stop censorship around the world. Because it’s not just Livia who’s being censored.

Also in Britain, we’re helping defend Adam Smith-Connor, a retired army veteran who has been convicted for praying silently outside of an abortion facility.

In Mexico, we’re fighting for former Congressman Rodrigo Iván Cortés, who has been convicted of “gender based political violence” because he referred to a fellow representative as a “man who self-ascribes as a woman.”

And in Australia, we’re standing with social media sensation Billboard Chris. Government officials censored him—a Canadian citizen—for speech he posted online on X (formerly Twitter).

Please give your best gift right now and put yourself on the frontlines of the fight to defeat censorship and ensure that all can speak freely worldwide.

Your generosity ensures that we never have to charge people like Livia a dime for our legal support in court.
