On October 13, 2021, six nurses represented by the Liberty Justice Center filed a lawsuit against their employer, Riverside Healthcare, for forcing them to obtain COVID-19 vaccines in violation of their religious beliefs.
Riverside fired all of them—except one, who felt she had no choice but to violate her religious belief and receive the vaccine to protect her family’s financial security.
The nurses, along with other medical professionals who joined the suit as plaintiffs, argue that being forced to choose between holding to their religious convictions and keeping their jobs violates Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964.
