Three decades ago, 30 Christian leaders saw a need to combat the decades-long efforts of activists and government officials to drive expressions of faith out of the public square. Others said it was too late, that the culture had already been lost. But these determined Christian leaders stepped out in faith and founded Alliance Defending Freedom to protect God-given freedoms in the courts and to recruit and train attorneys dedicated to that mission. Today, by God’s grace, we stand as the world’s largest legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, the sanctity of ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are growing threats to those who serve Jesus. Opponents of freedom are trying to silence those who speak and live consistent with the Christian faith—here in America and around the world. Jessica Bates, a mother of five in Oregon, was denied the opportunity to adopt due to her Christian convictions. 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 ...

Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys are defending the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) and two pregnancy centers challenging Vermont state officials for unconstitutionally restricting the centers’ speech and provision of services. But pregnancy resource centers across the state of Vermont—those like Branches—find themselves stifled after the state passed a law impeding the ability of pro-life pregnancy centers to continue providing help and support to Vermont women and families. The law censors the centers’ ability to advertise their services. It also impedes their ...

Liam Morrison couldn’t have imagined that he would be spending some of his middle school years in a courtroom helping to protect free speech for other students. But for Liam, the truth is worth it. At 12, he’s shown more courage than some adults. Now, he has a message of thanks to all the Ministry Friends who have helped support his case for freedom. Liam is a student at Nichols Middle School in Massachusetts. During his time there, he’s watched his school host celebrations of “Pride Week” and even encourage students to participate. But Liam believes the truth that gender is not based on our ...

The attacks on freedom from government officials, big tech, and radical activists are far-reaching. But you can take courage—and action—today. When the early Christians faced the powerful officials seeking to censor and punish them for living and expressing their faith, they spoke with courage. And the world noticed: “When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13). Though our current challenges are many, Alliance Defending Freedom and our Ministry Friends ...
