You Can Double Your Gift to Protect Kids Government officials are crossing the line, harming kids, and ignoring parents’ rights. For the vast majority of our nation’s history, everyone agreed that parents get to make the educational, medical, religious, and other important life decisions for their children. But now, there are some government officials who want more power. They think they know better than parents. And they are pushing destructive ideologies—like radical gender ideology and critical race theory—on the captive audience of children in schools, confusing kids about their bodies ...

The God-given right to free speech protects the freedom to pursue what is true and to share your beliefs with others. And it’s a right that only exists on paper unless we have the true freedom to live it out. But across the country, elites in government, the media, and big tech are compelling people to speak messages that violate their fundamental convictions—or be silent. These powerful elites want to force us to accept—and repeat—the lies that men can become women, that unborn lives don’t matter, and that faith should be kept private. We know the truth, and it’s time to speak up. Alliance ...

Free speech is under threat in America. Lydia Booth, a brave Mississippi 3rd grader was silenced by her school for wearing her “Jesus Loves Me” mask. Though we won the case and the school dropped the policy, this is far from the only important free speech case. When you support Alliance Defending Freedom’s effort to protect speech, it’s not just for our courageous clients. It’s YOUR rights that are at stake as well. Can the government fire you for your comments it doesn’t like that you posted on a personal blog? They did that to volunteer fire chaplain Dr. Andrew Fox. Can activists or ...

Parents who want to adopt shouldn’t face discrimination for their deeply held Christian beliefs. They shouldn’t be denied access to available government opportunities because of their faith. Yet that’s precisely what’s happening to Jessica Bates—a mother of five who is seeking to adopt and care for a sibling pair. Oregon is flat-out rejecting Jessica’s application for failing to “meet the adoption home standards.” In other words, she won’t tell boys they can be girls and girls they can be boys, take children to events like Pride parades, or facilitate a child’s access to potentially ...

Who is Liam? Liam is a 12-year-old student at Nichols Middle School in Middleborough, Massachusetts. He was punished by the school for wearing a t-shirt that says, “There are only two genders.” Why what happened to Liam matters Students don’t forfeit their free speech when they walk into school. It’s not just about a shirt—it’s about government officials telling a middle-schooler that he can’t say something that’s important to him, just because they disapprove of what he said. That’s not freedom. If the government can censor Liam, it can censor any student. The School’s Actions are Illegal All ...

Ronald Reagan once said, Freedom … is never more than one generation away from extinction. We are seeing that truth play out before our very eyes. Today, activists and government officials are increasingly misusing the levers of law and policy — at the local, state, federal, and even international levels — to impose a new orthodoxy. This new orthodoxy threatens to silence, punish, and even ruin those who seek to speak and live consistent with the fact that … … life begins at conception. … God designed marriage to be between one man and one woman. … God made men and women equal, but different. ...

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 ...
