The SFOI Legal Defense Fund is designed to preserve and protect evangelists' free speech rights in traditional public forums according to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.


The SFOI Legal Defense Fund had three primary objectives:


  • First, to directly and specifically help SFOI evangelists as they work around major sporting events, concerts and festivals.
  • Second, to assist other evangelists likewise working in the public square. 
  • En tercer lugar, contribuir al trabajo general en favor de la libertad de expresión en los EE.UU.

Invest today in the continuation of Free Speech in the US according to US Law.


There are two primary proactive actions SFOI is taking to protect our Free Speech:


  1. Pre-Event Letter where the attorney contacts the host city to find out the rules and regulations for our evangelism.
  2. When an evangelist on their own receives opposition to his evangelism the attorney follows up with the proper authoprities to secure the evangelist's continued Free Speech rights.


  • Pre-event letters that are drafted prior to every event. 
  • La carta previa al evento contiene la siguiente información: un contacto dentro del departamento de policía respectivo o la oficina del alcalde; detalles de las áreas donde pueden ocurrir actividades de libertad de expresión y donde no; ordenanzas de la ciudad relacionadas con la amplificación.
  • The goal is to have a letter outling our liberties and restrictions during the course of the event so the SFOI Team can minister correctly under the law plus have a contact within the Police department if someone seeks to stop the Team's Free Speech.
  • Ejemplos de cartas previas a eventos: Super Bowl Outreach '25; Kentucky Derby '25; St. Pete Grand Prix '25; Miami Grand Prix '25; Blue Crab Festival '25; Music City Grand Prix '24.


  • Esta es una carta a Green Bay, Wisconsin, que incluye su respuesta posterior, cuando un evangelista que no asistió a un evento de la SFOI se topó con oposición a su derecho a la libertad de expresión: Carta a Green Bay. Carta desde Green Bay.


What are the consistent ways which our Free Speech is opposed:


  • La policía o las fuerzas de seguridad intentan intimidarnos para que abandonemos un área legal.
  • Police or security not knowing Free Speech law telling us incorrectly we are breaking the law.
  • Comerciantes y organizadores de eventos que buscan que nos eliminen de un área legal.
  • Event planners violating access to an area that is legal for Free Speech.
  • Merchant and event planners inequitably enforcing Free Speech law.
