Issues

Every human life is sacred, and the lifelong union of a man and woman in marriage protects life by giving children the value of a devoted mother and father. This benefits society in ways no other relationship can. At the heart of this is religious freedom which respects our natural rights as human beings. A good and thriving culture upholds religious freedom, free speech, the value of life, the natural family, and parental rights. When one of these fundamental freedoms is diminished, society declines. By defending and protecting these key areas, Alliance Defending Freedom seeks to strengthen our world and ensure your ability to freely live out your faith.

Alliance Defending Freedom is Here to Defend You in Five Key Areas

Free Speech

Securing free speech for all.

We protect free speech in every sector of society, including in public schools and universities, because today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders.

Parental Rights

Guaranteeing the fundamental rights of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children.

We advocate for laws and precedents that protect parental rights with the same strict legal standard that protects other fundamental rights.

Sanctity of Life

Guaranteeing the right to life at every stage from conception to natural death.

We advocate for laws and legal precedents that protect the value and dignity of each individual human being’s life.

Religious Freedom

Restoring religious freedom as a fundamental right.

We promote the freedom of every person to live out their religious convictions in the public square, just as in the home or a place of worship.

Marriage and Family

Ensuring the law respects God’s creative order for marriage, the family, and human sexuality.

We advocate for laws and precedents that promote human flourishing by recognizing the important differences between men and women and honoring God’s design for marriage between one man and one woman.
