Florida attorney Jeff Childers gave up his for-profit clientele to represent a group of city of Gainesville employees facing termination due to their refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccines.
Now, after a major victory last week in his case, representing 250 Gainesville workers, and in an appeal in June to end the mask mandate in his county, lawyers around the country are seeking help in similar cases. turning to them.
Childers is using the momentum to form a coalition of lawyers from across the country interested in a similar fight over mask and vaccine mandates and whatever comes next in the fight to protect freedoms, he says.
A few weeks ago, he reached out to two dozen lawyers who had shown promise as “freedom fighters”. Those who accepted his invitation for a private chat on the encrypted instant messaging platform started inviting others enthusiastically. The group now includes 40 of “some of the biggest names in the country,” he says.
By Sunday afternoon, as Childers was celebrating the victory with Gainesville police, firefighters, linemen, and more, there was a spirited discussion over the chat, with files flying back and forth between litigants.
