But that’s why faithful, courageous people like Colorado cake artist Jack Phillips turn to Alliance Defending Freedom for help.

Right now, government officials here and around the world are trying to make faith a private matter.

The generosity of people like you will help protect your right to raise your family, live out your beliefs, and express your faith—without fear of government punishment.

The First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom protects the right of Yakima Union Gospel Mission and other faith-based ministries to hire those who share and live out their beliefs. Yet instead of praising the Mission for the strides it has made in caring for the homeless, government officials are hitting the ministry with threats of unconstitutional penalties. Alliance Defending Freedom is standing beside the Mission in defense of religious liberty. We defend our clients all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary. Cases like that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars ...

No parent should be kept in the dark about what’s happening with their child at school. And no teacher should be forced to comply with mandates from gender activists forcing them to violate their beliefs. But that’s what’s happening in school districts across the country.

Alliance Defending Freedom is standing with these brave parents and ...

Donald and Evelyn Knapp, owners of the Hitching Post, challenged a city ordinance that would have punished them for not performing same-sex wedding ceremonies.

Trinity Lutheran Church was treated worse than other organizations simply because it is religious.

Parents who want to adopt shouldn’t face discrimination for their deeply held Christian beliefs. They shouldn’t be denied access to available government opportunities because of their faith. Yet that’s precisely what’s happening to Jessica Bates—a mother of five who is seeking to adopt and care for a sibling pair. Oregon is flat-out rejecting Jessica’s application for failing to “meet the adoption home standards.” In other words, she won’t tell boys they can be girls and girls they can be boys, take children to events like Pride parades, or facilitate a child’s access to potentially ...

Who is Liam? Liam is a 12-year-old student at Nichols Middle School in Middleborough, Massachusetts. He was punished by the school for wearing a t-shirt that says, “There are only two genders.” Why what happened to Liam matters Students don’t forfeit their free speech when they walk into school. It’s not just about a shirt—it’s about government officials telling a middle-schooler that he can’t say something that’s important to him, just because they disapprove of what he said. That’s not freedom. If the government can censor Liam, it can censor any student. The School’s Actions are Illegal All ...

But through the generosity of our Ministry Friends like you, we're standing for the right to speak freely with courageous clients like Lorie Smith, who just won her landmark victory for free speech at the U.S. Supreme Court.

But Lorie's win was a win for all to speak ...
