Stand with Our Firefighter Families Against Unjust Lawsuits

We need your help to support the spouses of several dedicated firefighters who are facing defamation lawsuits filed by former Fire Chief Stephen Jellie. These lawsuits stem from their brave decision to stand up in public and voice concerns about the degradation of EMS services under his leadership.

Your generous contributions will go toward the mounting legal fees to ensure a fair defense against these baseless lawsuits. The money raised will be divided equally amongst the 5 families facing legal action.

Any remaining funds will be given to the Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Foundation, a non-profit dedicated solely to supporting the members of the department.

Our firefighters and their families are the backbone of our community, tirelessly working to protect and serve us all. When these individuals spoke out to ensure the safety and quality of emergency services, they were doing so for the benefit of everyone in our community.

Now, instead of being heard, they are being silenced and punished with costly legal action. These lawsuits are not only unjust but also an attempt to intimidate those who dare to speak the truth.

Legal battles like this can be devastating, both financially and emotionally. That’s why we’re asking for your support to help these families defend themselves.

This is a pivotal moment for our community to show that we will not stand by while our EMS system’s integrity and those who protect it are attacked. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us stand together for what’s right.

If you can’t contribute financially, sharing this campaign with your network can also make a huge difference.

Let’s stand up for those who have always stood up for us. Together, we can ensure that truth and justice prevail.

Thank you for your kindness, solidarity, and unwavering support.
