Our culture is riddled with anxiety and confusion. Many are rejecting the very foundations on which freedom rests. And that leaves your freedoms under threat. But that’s why faithful, courageous people like Colorado cake artist Jack Phillips turn to Alliance Defending Freedom for help. When government officials and activists misuse the law to punish those they disagree with … when people of faith are discriminated against for their beliefs … when religious freedom and free speech are violated … ADF is called upon to help.

Long before the Biden administration began to try to unlawfully rewrite Title IX, we knew that we would have to step up in a big way to counter this attack on truth and women’s rights. That’s why we’ve been providing our legal expertise to state legislatures to craft laws that protect the privacy and safety of women and girls and uphold basic principles of fairness in athletics. Thanks be to God, we’ve seen success. But much work remains. And we need the help of friends like you as much as ever. Government officials—including those in the Biden administration—are doubling down on promoting ...

Imagine feeling a conviction to adopt and care for other children—to love those who don’t even have one parent. And now imagine that your state is excluding you from adopting any child because you won’t agree to contradict your Christian beliefs— you won’t use inaccurate pronouns, take children to events like Pride parades, and facilitate a child’s access to dangerous procedures like potentially sterilizing puberty blockers. This is exactly the situation Jessica Bates faces in Oregon. Oregon officials are preventing Jessica from adopting because they disagree with her Christian beliefs—despite ...

For 60 years, the heart of the mission of Medford, OR-based 71Five Ministries has been to bring the hope of Jesus Christ to the youth in their community through trusting mentor relationships. The ministry has long participated in a state grant program designed to support existing services for youth at risk of disengaging from school, work, and community. Yet after being approved for over $400,000 in grants, the state rescinded the funds. The state discriminated against the group because of its Christian beliefs. The state claims the ministry is ineligible for the grants because it only hires ...

Could a church or a ministry near you be in danger of losing access to its financial accounts? For this Memphis-based church, it happened so abruptly. Without warning or explanation, Bank of America sent a letter to Indigenous Advance Ministries to notify them that its accounts were being closed. The ministry provides aid to impoverished orphans, widows, youth, and other at-risk populations in Uganda. The bank also targeted Servants of Christ church, which partners with the ministry. Bank of America told them they had 30 days to find a new bank and switch, and just a few weeks before an ...

It all began when Bank of America, one of the world’s largest banks sent abrupt notices to a Memphis-based church and Indigenous Advance, one of its ministry partners. The bank said they were closing their accounts and even the ministry’s credit cards. And they both had only 30 days to switch to a new bank. Bank of America didn’t even give a specific reason. All it said was that it simply no longer wanted to serve the ministries’ “business type” and that Indigenous Advance has exceeded the banks “risk tolerance.” But Indigenous Advance isn’t ideological or partisan. And it’s had the same ...
