The state of Washington is trying to force a Christian organization to hire people who don’t share the ministry’s faith. And just recently, news broke that the federal government has labeled Christian and conservative organizations, including Alliance Defending Freedom, to be "domestic ...

Online media such as Facebook and Twitter have become the primary way many, if not most, Americans access the news.

That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom is standing for the protection and preservation of free speech in cases where government actors, including the Biden administration, have been caught pressuring technology companies to do their bidding. “Using ...

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. ...

Long before the Biden administration began to try to unlawfully rewrite Title IX, we knew that we would have to step up in a big way to counter this attack on truth and women’s rights. That’s why we’ve been providing our legal expertise to state legislatures to craft laws that protect the privacy and safety of women and girls and uphold basic principles of fairness in athletics. Thanks be to God, we’ve seen success. But much work remains. And we need the help of friends like you as much as ever. Government officials—including those in the Biden administration—are doubling down on promoting ...

The following quote may be attributed to ADF International Director of Advocacy Robert Clarke regarding documents released Monday concerning the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) that reveal “ widespread medical malpractice on children and vulnerable adults”: “No child is ever born in the wrong body.
