Restoring Respect for Free Speech at Corporations
The concentration of private power presents an existential threat to free speech and religious liberty that is at least as big as the threat of government overreach. Activist-captured corporations silence dissent and suppress speech while evading constitutional limits and democratic accountability. The battle to secure every person’s God-given right to live and speak the truth is not just happening in courtrooms and legislatures, but also in corporate boardrooms. ADF is engaging corporations through shareholder proposals, policy solutions, strategic coalition-building, and more in a multi-pronged, sustained effort to return corporate America to its true purpose.

What We Do
Viewpoint Diversity Score Business Index
At the heart of our fight against corporate censorship is the Viewpoint Diversity Score Business Index—a powerful tool built on ADF’s legal expertise. The Index exposes the very corporate policies that empower censorship and discrimination. These policies become the targets of our multi-levered strategy: shareholder engagement, public model legislation, and, when necessary, litigation.
Shareholder Engagement
Leveraging the Index, our team has reshaped how conservative and faith-based investors do shareholder engagement. ADF drafts and supports shareholder resolutions on behalf of our partners that directly challenge policies that threaten fundamental freedoms and alienate customers, employees, and shareholders.
Corporate Executive Coalition
We convene, equip, and mobilize key allies within corporate America to advocate for respect for free speech and religious liberty. Our coalition of like-minded leaders in strategic corporations has also launched the Good for Business Coalition and its Statement of Principles on the Purpose of a Corporation.
Christian Business Leaders
We counsel business owners on their legal rights so that they can maximize their eternal impact, equip business leaders to boldly stand for truth in the marketplace, and partner with businesses to promote and protect our God-given freedoms.
Policy and Legislation
ADF works with strategic policy and legislative partners on the state and federal levels to protect Americans from discriminatory policies and behavior from powerful corporations such as major financial institutions, big tech platforms, and software corporations.
