SUMMARY:Rutgers Mandate Rally in Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:Be there. Make them play fair.\nPlease join the New Jersey and 
 Pennsylvania chapters of Children’s Health Defense for a rally in Philad
 elphia to show support for the plaintiffs in the Rutgers mandate case and 
 the CHD legal team as we gather to deliver a strong message to the judges 
 that informed consent matters.\n\nWe are awaiting confirmation of final de
 tails\, but please mark your calendars:\n\nWhen: Tuesday\, June 27\, 9am-1
 2pm\nWhere: James A. Byrne US Courthouse\, 601 Market St\, Philadelphia\, 
 PA 19106\n\n*Bus transportation is in the works. Please reach out to via n
 j.team@childrenshealthdefense.org if you are interested in getting a seat 
 on the bus.\nSieze the Day\nOn Tuesday\, June 27\, Julio Gomez\, lead atto
 rney in the case CHD against Rutgers University\, plans to give his oral a
 rgument before a panel of 3 judges. We need to show up strong and let ever
 yone involved know we’re paying attention.\n\nImportant legal precedents
  are at stake. Rutgers University was one of the first universities in the
  country to mandate the COVID vaccine\, leading the way for mandates in ed
 ucational institutions throughout the country. Lucrative public-private pa
 rtnerships and multiple conflicts of interest may have muddied the waters 
 as Rutger’s COVID policy was created prompting serious questions as to w
 hether the institution is more invested in following science or leading it
  in a pre-ordained direction.\n\nThe decision in this case has the potenti
 al to impact states covered by the 3rd Circuit (NJ\, DE\, PA\, the Virgin 
 Islands) and possibly the entire country depending on the ruling.\nThe His
 tory of CHD vs. Rutgers\nIn August 2021\, Children’s Health Defense join
 ed 18 students to file a lawsuit in federal court against Rutgers Universi
 ty over its decision to mandate COVID vaccines for students attending scho
 ol in the fall. The lawsuit alleged Rutgers’ policy\, which included tho
 se attending class remotely\, was a violation of the right to informed con
 sent and the right to refuse unwanted medical treatments.\n\nOn Sept. 9\, 
 2022\, more than a year after CHD initially sued the university\, Judge Qu
 raishi granted Rutgers’ motion to dismiss.\n\nIn January of 2023\, Gomez
  filed the first appeal brief and appendix on behalf of CHD with the U.S. 
 Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia after CHD lost in t
 he district court. Among other things\, CHD asserts that the District Cour
 t of New Jersey didn’t follow the legal standard when it dismissed CHD
 ’s case.\n\nOur college students deserve better. Please join us in Phila
 delphia and help us create a win for informed consent and ALL students of 
 higher education.
