Because government officials are silencing speech that the government disagrees with and punishing Americans for engaging in honest discussion and debate. Some policies seek to compel educators or students to express messages that aren’t true. These unlawful directives force educators to deceive and mislead parents and students to avoid plain truths when talking with each other. But don’t educators and students have the right to live and speak the truth—without fear of punishment? Or do ...

The censorship at America’s colleges and universities must stop. And we need your support to bring First Amendment freedoms back to our nation’s campuses. A university is supposed to be a “marketplace” for ideas. Unfortunately, more and more college campuses are silencing students through discriminatory policies, speech codes, and even no-contact orders. Maggie DeJong’s story is case in point. As a graduate student in art therapy counseling at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), Maggie wanted an education that would make her the best counselor she could be. Just like many of her ...

Each one of us, made in the image of God, has inalienable rights given to us by our Creator. These rights include free speech and the freedom of religion. These freedoms protect every American’s ability to live according to their beliefs. Yet, threats to these rights are mounting.

The God-given right to free speech protects the freedom to pursue what is true and to share your beliefs with others. And it’s a right that only exists on paper unless we have the true freedom to live it out. But across the country, elites in government, the media, and big tech are compelling people to speak messages that violate their fundamental convictions—or be silent. These powerful elites want to force us to accept—and repeat—the lies that men can become women, that unborn lives don’t matter, and that faith should be kept private. We know the truth, and it’s time to speak up. Alliance ...

In Connecticut, boys who identify as female can compete in girls’ athletic events. As a result, female athletes like Selina Soule, Alanna Smith, Chelsea Mitchell, and Ashley Nicoletti have been deprived of honors and opportunities to compete at elite levels. It’s wrong.

If we stand on the sidelines, women and girls—maybe even one of your loved ones—will soon be forced to become spectators in their own sports. A broad coalition of athletes, Olympians, coaches, sports officials, 23 states, and several athletic and advocacy ...
