What would happen to faith-based nonprofits like pregnancy resource centers or homeless shelters if the government stopped them from hiring only employees who agreed with and lived out the organization’s values? According to two U.S. Supreme Court justices, “many non-profits would be extinguished from participation in public life.” But a Washington state employment law is being used to threaten the work of religious ministries. In 2021, the Washington Supreme Court ruled that religious organizations could be forced to hire people who disagree with, and refuse to live out, the ministries’ ...

President Biden has promised to sign the “Equality Act” into law during his first 100 days if given the chance. Now, with its recent passage in the House, the chances of the “Equality Act” being signed into law are higher than ever before. The “Equality Act” would add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” as protected classes to many existing federal nondiscrimination laws. And though “nondiscrimination” sounds good in theory, that is not what this bill is truly about. The “Equality Act” is a deliberate and dangerous attempt to force people of faith to abandon their sincerely held beliefs ...

The Biden administration is trying to mandate gender identity ideology on Christian college campuses.

Jessica Bates is a mother to five children in Oregon—and she wants to thank people like you, who have prayed for and supported her stand in court for the sake of children in need.

Americans’ right to live and speak the truth is facing intensifying threats. There are children today who are being targeted and punished for their faith in public schools across America. Children are also being pressured into experimental “gender transition” procedures, are being indoctrinated into radical gender and race-based ideologies, and are being taught to reject the values they are raised with at home. Artists are being threatened with fines, damages, threats to their livelihood, and even jail time for declining to promote messages that violate their deepest beliefs. These are only a ...

School is back in session and parents need to know what’s happening in their child’s school. Are they being exposed to inappropriate materials on sexuality and gender? Do parents have the option to opt their kids out of such curriculum? Does the school have a secret policy to “transition” confused students without the knowledge or consent of their parents? Activists promoting harmful gender ideology are putting the health and innocence of children at risk. But many parents aren’t sure what do to protect their children. That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom has created a short, free guide to ...

HELP OUR TEACHERS FREELY SPEAK

It all began when Bank of America, one of the world’s largest banks sent abrupt notices to a Memphis-based church and Indigenous Advance, one of its ministry partners. The bank said they were closing their accounts and even the ministry’s credit cards. And they both had only 30 days to switch to a new bank. Bank of America didn’t even give a specific reason. All it said was that it simply no longer wanted to serve the ministries’ “business type” and that Indigenous Advance has exceeded the banks “risk tolerance.” But Indigenous Advance isn’t ideological or partisan. And it’s had the same ...
