Parents have the responsibility to direct their children’s general health and well-being. And the Constitution protects the fundamental rights of parents to raise and educate their children consistent with their beliefs and values. But, unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped some government officials from trying to interfere with parental rights and undercut the important role of mothers and fathers in their children’s lives. For example, more and more school districts are ignoring parents’ instructions and even concealing information about their children’s education on critical issues like sex ...

When Elizabeth faced an unexpected pregnancy shortly after graduating college, she didn’t know where to turn. Although she was unsure about pursuing abortion, her boyfriend at the time wanted her to go to Planned Parenthood—and soon she found herself being coerced to take abortion drugs. Elizabeth was assured that when she took the drugs, all she would experience would be “light cramping,” and that she would be “back to work on Monday.” But this is a far cry from what Elizabeth went through. Elizabeth was abandoned when she was most in need. No one told her about the pain she would go through ...

Government officials—including those in the Biden administration—are getting bolder. Together with the Far-Left, they’re trying to create a radically different America. We’re seeing unprecedented levels of government overreach across the nation, and we must fight it. But to do that, we need your help.

They have allies who will stand with them and fight for them. Every $1 you give today will be DOUBLED—up to $500,000—thanks to a limited-time ...

Hi, my name is Maggie DeJong, and as a former client of Alliance Defending Freedom, I wanted to personally thank you for your support and prayers. When I was in graduate school, my university tried to silence and punish me for sharing my beliefs. I knew this was wrong. And I didn’t want what happened to me to happen to anyone else. So, I reached out to ADF, and because of your generosity, they were able to defend me. And I won. Now, the university has revised its policies to provide more protections for students. And officials in my program have undergone ADF-provided First Amendment training ...

When will it stop? At Alliance Defending Freedom, we’re seeing governments try to sideline Christian children’s homes, adoption centers, and homeless ministries from their mission because they are committed to following their faith. To put it bluntly, these ministries are being attacked because they seek to live out the Gospel and refuse to compromise their faith and God-given mission. In some cases, standing for the Gospel results in a ministry facing a barrage of unlawful and discriminatory attacks in the form of threatened investigations and penalties. In other cases, it could mean a ...

When Dayspring Christian Learning Center is threatened, your freedom is on the line, too. When the federal government tries to force faith-based ministries and schools to violate their beliefs to receive needed funding, kids in need lose. And this time, it’s dozens of poor and minority students at Dayspring Christian Learning Center in El Cajon, California, who could be losing out on lunches they desperately need. This is a case of government officials placing ideology above the health and well-being of children—which has happened far too often in the past few years. And it’s a blatant ...

Right now, government officials here and around the world are trying to make faith a private matter.

The generosity of people like you will help protect your right to raise your family, live out your beliefs, and express your faith—without fear of government punishment. Whatever you give will be combined with a special $500,000 challenge grant ...

For more than 10 years, Colorado cake artist Jack Phillips has been dragged through courts because activists have targeted, harassed, and tried to punish him for his beliefs. In the third lawsuit targeting Jack and his business, Masterpiece Cakeshop, the Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court’s ruling that punished Jack for not designing a custom cake celebrating a gender transition, requested by an activist attorney. Jack serves everyone. But he can’t create every message that he’s asked to. The activist attorney said he wanted to “test” Jack and “correct the errors of [Jack’s] ...
