Our culture is increasingly hostile to those of faith and common sense. Every day, Americans are losing their jobs, their businesses are threatened, and their speech is silenced. But we’re hopeful, not anxious, about the future of freedom. We have an opportunity to engage our culture, and we’re going to double down in 2024 in three key ways: countering censorship, challenging gender ideology, and securing parental rights. It’s going to take the entire alliance—including folks like you—to successfully contend for the truth. Will you step up right now with a gift of $25, $50, $75, $100, or more ...

Alliance Defending Freedom was proud to serve on the Mississippi legal team that overturned Roe. Now we’re taking the next crucial steps to advance the cause of freedom, including: Protecting the conscience rights of Americans like Minnesota pharmacist George Badeaux, who was sued because he can’t dispense a drug that may cause an abortion. George is a Christian who believes that an embryo is a new human life—he shouldn’t be forced to violate his beliefs in the workplace. Defending the right of states to enforce life-affirming laws. We’re assisting the Idaho Attorney General’s Office in ...

Our case against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will very soon be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. All Americans should be able to agree: That federal agencies must follow the law. That the FDA’s job is to ensure safety. But the FDA hasn’t followed the law—it unlawfully removed vital safety standards for the use of high-risk abortion drugs. And it isn’t keeping women and girls safe—the FDA’s own label on these drugs admit that roughly one in 25 women who take them will end up in the emergency room. Yet the FDA eliminated all in-person doctor visits to check for ectopic pregnancies ...

Sign up and download your copy The freedoms of educators and students are increasingly threatened. Why? Because government officials are silencing speech that the government disagrees with and punishing Americans for engaging in honest discussion and debate. Some policies seek to compel educators or students to express messages that aren’t true. These unlawful directives force educators to deceive and mislead parents and students to avoid plain truths when talking with each other. But don’t educators and students have the right to live and speak the truth—without fear of punishment? Or do ...

It’s costly to tell the truth today. It can cost you your reputation, your livelihood, and even your friends and family. But far greater is the cost of not standing up to these lies—especially in America’s schools. When the government shuts down speech, it teaches the next generation what is and isn’t acceptable to say. When the government hides critical information from parents, it drives a wedge between parents and their children—and leaves kids vulnerable to damaging lies. When the government bows to the idea that speech and ideas can be violence, it teaches our future leaders to choose ...

You might think a commitment to protecting unborn life would be an asset for a midwife.

When will it stop? At Alliance Defending Freedom, we’re seeing governments try to sideline Christian children’s homes, adoption centers, and homeless ministries from their mission because they are committed to following their faith. To put it bluntly, these ministries are being attacked because they seek to live out the Gospel and refuse to compromise their faith and God-given mission. In some cases, standing for the Gospel results in a ministry facing a barrage of unlawful and discriminatory attacks in the form of threatened investigations and penalties. In other cases, it could mean a ...

In Connecticut, boys who identify as female can compete in girls’ athletic events. As a result, female athletes like Selina Soule, Alanna Smith, Chelsea Mitchell, and Ashley Nicoletti have been deprived of honors and opportunities to compete at elite levels. It’s wrong. It’s not a fair playing field. And you can help do something about it. If we stand on the sidelines, women and girls—maybe even one of your loved ones—will soon be forced to become spectators in their own sports. A broad coalition of athletes, Olympians, coaches, sports officials, 23 states, and several athletic and advocacy ...

Make no mistake: New York’s new censorship law targets constitutionally protected speech on social media networks. But this attack on free speech is nothing new. We’ve seen countless forms of censorship from government officials, social media platforms, and even financial institutions. But now, satirical websites like The Babylon Bee must face humorless state officials depriving them of their First Amendment freedoms. At ADF, we believe that all Americans are free to peacefully express their point of view, and that includes humor and sarcasm. Further, we believe that our freedoms don’t hinge ...

When Assistant Principal Emily Mais merely questioned the CRT-inspired curriculum that her school was forcing on students, she was ostracized, harassed, shamed, and even called racist. She saw that the “anti-racist” teaching training was actually directing teachers to be racist in seeing their students as members of groups, based on skin color, and treating them differently based on their race. The work environment got so bad that Emily was eventually forced to resign. With her Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, Emily has sued the school district, which violated her constitutionally ...
