  • 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. We’re seeing federal, state, and local governments trying to enforce gender ideology across our education system and even health services. And parental rights are now being threatened by public school districts and state governments. You can take action to help secure these and more freedoms today. It's only through ...
  • 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. It’s not a fair playing field. And you can help do something about it. 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 ...

Though we won the case and the school dropped the policy, this is far from the only important free speech case. When you support Alliance Defending Freedom’s effort to protect speech, it’s not just for our courageous clients. It’s YOUR rights that are at stake as well. Can the government fire you for your comments it doesn’t like that you posted on a personal blog? They did that to volunteer fire chaplain Dr. Andrew Fox. Can activists or ...
  • There are growing threats to those who serve Jesus.

  • 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 ...
  • The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), mainstream media, and pro-abortion forces have not been honest about the dangers of abortion drugs and how the FDA has put women and girls at risk by removing important safety standards. Are abortion drugs safe and effective, as the FDA claims? Was the removal of safety standards a science-based decision? Are abortion drugs just a basic part of reproductive care? Finding truthful answers to those questions can be difficult, and this issue can be challenging for Americans to discuss. That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom has created a short, accessible ...
