In November 1993, the Freedom From Religion Foundation Denver chapter, with the national organization, successfully went to court to enjoin the Denver mayor’s office from cosponsoring a National Day of Prayer against Violence on Dec. 5, 1993. The Court enjoined the mayor from “any further endorsement, promotion, sponsorship or support of the Day of Prayer.”
