Hi, I’m Ali Kilmartin, Senior Counsel and Vice President of Allied Legal Affairs at Alliance Defending Freedom, here to tell you about ADF’s Grants and Funding Program, which connects people like you with over 4,500 network attorneys who are dedicated to protecting the freedom of American families and ministries from overreaching governments.

America is one of the last countries in the world strongly committed to protecting the freedoms to speak freely and to live out our faith. But our most cherished rights must be constantly defended, and they’re being challenged now as much as ever before. Alliance Defending Freedom receives thousands of requests for legal assistance every year—and that number represents just a fraction of people whose rights are threatened by government officials and radical activists.
