There are growing threats to those who serve Jesus. Opponents of freedom are trying to silence those who speak and live consistent with the Christian faith—here in America and around the world. Jessica Bates, a mother of five in Oregon, was denied the opportunity to adopt due to her Christian convictions. The state of Washington is trying to force a Christian organization to hire people who don’t share the ministry’s faith. And just recently, news broke that the federal government has labeled Christian and conservative organizations, including Alliance Defending Freedom, to be "domestic ...

Gender theory is harming children and poisoning our culture. It’s just that simple. From the classrooms to the playing fields to adoption policy, gender theory seeks to distort the clear truth and is undermining one of the most foundational realities of what it means to be human: the fact that we are each created male or female. Alliance Defending Freedom is on the front lines, pushing back against gender theory in the culture and in the courtroom. We’re challenging policies like “gender transition” plans that mislead and deceive parents about the care of their children. And policies that ...

Female athletes spend years—even decades—of their lives training and honing their skills. They know that the difference between victory and defeat can be a single point or a tenth of a second. Fairness between competitors is critical. But the Biden administration and radical activists throughout the country are undermining the truth that there are biological differences between females and males by attempting to force women and girls to compete against males, who have significant—and documented—physical advantages. As this continues, women’s sports are being destroyed as opportunities and ...

Thank you for signing the pledge!

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 ...

The censorship at America’s colleges and universities must stop. And we need your support to bring First Amendment freedoms back to our nation’s campuses. A university is supposed to be a “marketplace” for ideas. Unfortunately, more and more college campuses are silencing students through discriminatory policies, speech codes, and even no-contact orders. Maggie DeJong’s story is case in point. As a graduate student in art therapy counseling at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), Maggie wanted an education that would make her the best counselor she could be. Just like many of her ...

We live in strange times, when basic truths are denied, and God-given freedoms are undermined by those meant to protect us. With the many challenges we face, ADF is focusing on three areas where we expect to see your God-given rights threatened: rising government censorship, increasing dangers posed by gender ideology, and attacks on parental rights. ADF is going on the offense to see that your freedoms are protected—that the stand for freedom is being strengthened in 2024. So we need your help. Because the threats are present, the time is urgent to continue to build the strongest team ...

The Biden administration is wreaking havoc on Title IX. Title IX was passed in 1972 to protect equal opportunities for women, not harm them. Now, the administration has issued a radical change that redefines “sex” in federal law to include “gender identity.” This means that “sex,” under federal law, would be based on how someone identifies, not biological reality. These changes gut equal opportunities for women, erode student privacy, and threaten women’s sports and safety. The Biden administration claims that this radical change won’t affect women’s opportunities. But the government can’t ...
