Help fuel our ability to defend your religious freedom rights DONATE NOW The College of the Ozarks is a religious school in Missouri that aims to provide a Christian education to all its students. The school wants to develop citizens of Christ-like character who are well-educated, hard-working, and patriotic. But a Biden administration policy would FORCE religious schools like College of the Ozarks to open their dormitories—including shared shower spaces—to members of the opposite sex, even if it violates their beliefs. The college is taking a stand to say: The government doesn’t belong in our ...

College of the Ozarks is facing anti-religious hostility from the Biden administration, simply for standing firm on their beliefs concerning marriage and sexuality.

The government has no business censoring conversations between clients and counselors. But that’s just what the state of Washington is doing to Brian Tingley. Brian just wants to help others as they face various struggles or pain in their lives. As a licensed marriage and family counselor in Washington, he works with married couples, adults, teens, and families to reach the goals they set for themselves in their counseling sessions. But the state of Washington has decided that Brian cannot do this. According to the state, he cannot help his clients who are minors reach goals they set for ...

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 ...

Lorie Smith rejoices after seven-year battle for free speech On June 30, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of free speech and graphic artist Lorie Smith in 303 Creative v. Elenis. Praise God! This is a landmark victory upholding the First Amendment’s promise of free speech to all Americans. Colorado can no longer misuse the law to coerce or silence speech. The Supreme Court made clear that the First Amendment prevents the government from forcing Americans to say things they don’t believe. As the Court wrote: “But, as this Court has long held, the opportunity to think for ourselves and ...

This is about standing up for the truth. And it’s about ensuring that every girl and woman has an equal opportunity to a fair playing field. That’s why we’re standing with courageous female athletes like Selina Soule, Chelsea Mitchell, Alanna Smith, and Ashley Nicoletti. They experienced the consequences of allowing males to compete with female athletes, and they decided to take a brave stand. They did this in the face of loud voices opposing them, and the deafening silence of many around them, when others were afraid to speak out. All they wanted was a fair shot—just like any other dedicated ...

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 ...

Help ensure your constitutional rights always have a strong legal defense. DONATE NOW The Colorado Supreme Court has agreed to hear the latest case against cake artist Jack Phillips and his Masterpiece Cakeshop. Will you help fuel his defense? In the third lawsuit targeting Jack and his business, the Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed a judgment punishing Jack for not designing a custom pink-and-blue cake celebrating a gender transition that an activist attorney requested. Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys appealed that decision to the state’s high court, which will hear the case. But we ...

The First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom protects the right of Yakima Union Gospel Mission and other faith-based ministries to hire those who share and live out their beliefs. Yet instead of praising the Mission for the strides it has made in caring for the homeless, government officials are hitting the ministry with threats of unconstitutional penalties. Alliance Defending Freedom is standing beside the Mission in defense of religious liberty. We defend our clients all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary. Cases like that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars ...
