WASHINGTON, D.C. – California Governor Gavin Newsom must respond by 5:00 p.m. ET today to an emergency petition filed by Harvest Rock Church and Harvest International Ministry.
Justice Elana Kagan issued the order to Gov. Newsom in response to the churches’ request to the U.S. Supreme Court for an injunction pending appeal in their federal lawsuit against the governor’s unconstitutional worship ban and discriminatory treatment. The discrimination has become more obvious and severe in Gov. Newsom’s new “Blueprint” issued on August 28, 2020, which established a system of four Tiers. The “Blueprint” discriminates against religious meetings in churches and places of worship in every Tier. The chart attached to the petition makes this discrimination very clear.
