Parents who want to adopt shouldn’t face discrimination for their deeply held Christian beliefs. They shouldn’t be denied access to available government opportunities because of their faith. Yet that’s precisely what’s happening to Jessica Bates—a mother of five who is seeking to adopt and care for a sibling pair. Oregon is flat-out rejecting Jessica’s application for failing to “meet the adoption home standards.” In other words, she won’t tell boys they can be girls and girls they can be boys, take children to events like Pride parades, or facilitate a child’s access to potentially ...

Free speech is under attack in America. Students from elementary school to graduate school are silenced for expressing their beliefs. Christian counselors are told what they can and can’t discuss with their clients. Governments are using their power to censor views they disagree with. Those are not the values our country was founded upon. Free speech is only “free” if we can say what we believe—without fear of government punishment.

Around the world, it’s becoming more difficult—and dangerous—for Christians to live out their faith.

The attacks on freedom from government officials, big tech, and radical activists are far-reaching. But you can take courage—and action—today. When the early Christians faced the powerful officials seeking to censor and punish them for living and expressing their faith, they spoke with courage. And the world noticed: “When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13). Though our current challenges are many, Alliance Defending Freedom and our Ministry Friends ...

When you join with other friends of freedom to participate in the National Freedom Candle initiative, you can become part of our united effort to shine the light of freedom in the midst of hostility both near and far. Activists in the Biden administration, giant corporations, and state governments across the country are getting bolder in their attempts to restrict your freedoms: People are being targeted and punished for their faith in public schools, universities, and in the workplace. Children are also being misled into experimental “gender transition” procedures, are being indoctrinated ...

The cruelty against Jack Phillips continues. Will you pray for him? You know his story: Jack is the cake artist from Colorado who serves all people but could not—and cannot—create a custom cake that expresses a message he does not believe. For Jack and so many other Christian artists, it’s never about the who. It’s always about what message they’re being asked to communicate. He cannot express every message asked of him. And because our nation’s Constitution protects free speech, he doesn’t have to. After ten years, and despite two victories, he’s still being targeted by activists who want to ...

What is happening? At a time when the need to provide children with a stable and loving home is at a point of “crisis,” many states are forcing adoptive parents to pass an ideological litmus test to qualify. In some states, if the parents aren’t willing to push the government’s message on sexuality and gender, they can’t adopt. Simply put: government officials and policies are actively discriminating against Americans of faith—prioritizing ideology over the needs of kids. That’s cruel, it harms children, and it’s unconstitutional. Who is harmed? Nearly 400,000 children are currently in the ...
