REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS RALLY UPDATE Satanists, supporters, and people concerned about the erosion of reproductive rights will participate in The Satanic Temple’s Reproductive Rights Rally at the capital of a state where abortion rights are highly threatened. The state will be chosen using a donation campaign, and the winning state will be announced on October 31st. Currently, Indiana, the home state of anti-choice Vice President Mike Pence, is barely leading, followed very closely by Utah. In near third place is Georgia.

LIGHTSPEED SYSTEMS IS BLOCKING ACCESS TO THE SATANIC TEMPLE WEBSITE ON PUBLIC SCHOOL COMPUTERS Students from Ohio and Indiana have reported that their public-school blocks internet access to The Satanic Temple’s website while permitting access to other religious organizations’ sites. With the help of the ACLU and the Freedom From Religion Foundation, we put these two school districts on notice that this is discrimination and a Constitutional violation of our civil rights and they corrected the issue.
In the process, we learned that hundreds of other schools contract their internet security to a private firm, Lightspeed Systems, that has been responsible for preventing access to The Satanic Temple website. We placed them on notice, but they have ignored our requests.
Because we do not contract with Lightspeed Systems (many public schools do), we need to find public school students who are TST members and who object to having access to TST's website blocked on school computers. We intend to sue these schools so that Lightspeed Systems will be forced to stop their discriminatory practices.
We encourage members to spread the word about Lightspeed Systems and their practices.

ARKANSAS TEN COMMANDMENTS LAWSUIT The Satanic Temple is an intervenor in a lawsuit over the Ten Commandments statue that was erected in Little Rock, Arkansas. While the ACLU and the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers want the Ten Commandments removed from government property, The Satanic Temple wants our statue of Baphomet to stand alongside the Ten Commandments as an alternative point of view. The case is moving forward, and recently state senator Jason Rapert (no, we did not make up that name), who sponsored the legislation was deposed on September 12, 2018. We will provide updates as the case progresses.
