Jessica Bates is a mother to five children in Oregon—and she wants to thank people like you, who have prayed for and supported her stand in court for the sake of children in need. Five years ago, Jessica lost her husband in a car crash. She and her kids learned what it’s like to go through profound loss and together, rely on the love of God. The Lord placed the children in Oregon’s foster care system on her heart. Her family wants to open their arms to a sibling pair and adopt them into their home. But the state of Oregon has barred Jessica from adopting because of her biblical beliefs about ...

Americans’ right to live and speak the truth is facing intensifying threats. There are children today who are being targeted and punished for their faith in public schools across America. Children are also being pressured into experimental “gender transition” procedures, are being indoctrinated into radical gender and race-based ideologies, and are being taught to reject the values they are raised with at home. Artists are being threatened with fines, damages, threats to their livelihood, and even jail time for declining to promote messages that violate their deepest beliefs. These are only a ...

School is back in session and parents need to know what’s happening in their child’s school. Are they being exposed to inappropriate materials on sexuality and gender? Do parents have the option to opt their kids out of such curriculum? Does the school have a secret policy to “transition” confused students without the knowledge or consent of their parents? Activists promoting harmful gender ideology are putting the health and innocence of children at risk. But many parents aren’t sure what do to protect their children. That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom has created a short, free guide to ...

It all began when Bank of America, one of the world’s largest banks sent abrupt notices to a Memphis-based church and Indigenous Advance, one of its ministry partners. The bank said they were closing their accounts and even the ministry’s credit cards. And they both had only 30 days to switch to a new bank. Bank of America didn’t even give a specific reason. All it said was that it simply no longer wanted to serve the ministries’ “business type” and that Indigenous Advance has exceeded the banks “risk tolerance.” But Indigenous Advance isn’t ideological or partisan. And it’s had the same ...

Elon Musk offered to cover your legal bill if you were unfairly treated by an employer because of something you tweeted — but what about mistreatment by the government? In Finland, Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen stood trial twice for charges of “hate speech” over a 2019 Tweet that included a Bible verse and questioned her church’s participation in a local Pride parade. Despite being acquitted twice, the Finnish state prosecutor has decided to appeal the second unanimous court decision that exonerated Päivi and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola of “hate speech” allegations for sharing their ...

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 ...
