Make no mistake: New York’s new censorship law targets constitutionally protected speech on social media networks. But this attack on free speech is nothing new. We’ve seen countless forms of censorship from government officials, social media platforms, and even financial institutions. But now, satirical websites like The Babylon Bee face the risk of humorless state officials depriving them of their First Amendment freedoms. At ADF, we believe that all Americans are free to peacefully express their point of view, and that includes humor and sarcasm. Further, we believe that our freedoms don’t ...

Persecution of Christians and other minority religion adherents is on the rise worldwide. Over 365 million Christians live in places where persecution is a daily challenge. In some countries, blasphemy laws still carry a death sentence. Homeschool parents are targeted by governments who threaten to take their children away because of their faith. Christians are even arrested for silently praying or tweeting a Bible verse. But many Americans aren’t aware of the threat to religious freedom and the extent to which it is under attack in Western countries like the U.K. and Brazil. That’s why we’ve ...

When the government discriminates against foster/adoptive parents based on their religious beliefs, children are harmed. These kids need a forever home—not political ideology. Christians and the church have been key to providing resources and open arms to vulnerable children for hundreds of years. The earliest orphanages in North America were created by dedicated Christian groups, and these faithful people continue to lead the way today. Yet, some state officials now reject Christian and other religious families—forcing children to wait longer for a loving home—because they disagree with the ...

Despite all the good that pro-life pregnancy care centers like Branches Pregnancy Resource Center do for their community, the State of Vermont has targeted them with a new law. Government officials want to silence their voice and strip them of their ability to serve moms and babies. Why? Because they aren’t on board with the state’s radical abortion agenda. That’s wrong. And it’s unconstitutional. We’re standing with these pregnancy care centers in Vermont in a new lawsuit to protect their right to live and speak the truth. The state should be encouraging more organizations to serve vulnerable ...

The Biden administration is using social media companies to shut down voices and messages they disagree with—and they have been caught red-handed. We’re standing with Americans, supporting a new lawsuit that challenges this government overreach. But what do you think? Take our survey and let your voice be heard!

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. ...
