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 ...

Government officials—including those in the Biden administration—are doubling down on promoting ...

Parents nationwide are standing up for their children and their God-given freedoms. Will you stand with them? DEFEND PARENTAL RIGHTS How would you feel if your child was being taught to treat other children differently based on the color of their skin? that whether someone will be successful in life is based on whether they are black or white? that their skin color determines whether they are an “oppressor” or “oppressed”? And—most disturbingly—what if they were being taught this by their own school? Sadly, this is precisely the type of race-based division pushed on kids in many public schools ...

Coach David Bloch has given so much to the snowboarding program at Woodstock Union High School (WUHS) in Vermont. As the founder of the program, he has invested countless hours in student athletes. But none of that mattered when Coach Bloch respectfully shared his beliefs regarding gender with two athletes—and became the latest American punished for acknowledging biological reality. When the WUHS women’s snowboarding team was scheduled to compete against a team that included a male, two student athletes were discussing the issue. Coach Bloch overheard the conversation and simply spoke to the ...

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 ...
