“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” -Proverbs 22:6 Scripture makes it clear—parents have the responsibility, given by God, to direct their children’s upbringing. But today, tragically, some government officials are intentionally undercutting the important role of mothers and fathers in their children’s lives. In one of the most egregious examples of this, school districts across the country are advancing harmful gender ideology in the classroom, facilitating secret “transitions” of children and treating students as if they were the ...

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 ...

Free speech is under threat in America. Lydia Booth, a brave Mississippi 3rd grader was silenced by her school for wearing her “Jesus Loves Me” mask. 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 ...

Free speech platform “X” was just banned by the Brazilian government. That means it’s illegal for Brazilian citizens to use the social media platform, which is owned by Elon Musk. Even more, Brazilians can be subject to nearly $9,000 fines if they attempt to continue using “X” via a virtual private network (VPN). This is a blatant violation of Brazilians’ freedom of speech. And it creates a dire situation for human rights in a critical nation in the region. The ruling follows years of the government systematically targeting its own citizens—oftentimes, conservative voices—for what they say ...

There are growing threats to those who serve Jesus. Opponents of freedom are trying to silence those who speak and live consistent with the Christian faith—here in America and around the world. Jessica Bates, a mother of five in Oregon, was denied the opportunity to adopt due to her Christian convictions. The state of Washington is trying to force a Christian organization to hire people who don’t share the ministry’s faith. And just recently, news broke that the federal government has labeled Christian and conservative organizations, including Alliance Defending Freedom, to be "domestic ...

As a mother of five, Jessica knows what it’s like to provide a loving home. And as a widow, she knows what it’s like to lose a part of your family. So after hearing about another person’s adoption story, she felt inspired to make a happy home for children in need in the state of Oregon. But in Oregon, parents like Jessica must agree to use a child’s preferred pronouns, take children to LGBT-affirming events like Pride parades, and facilitate a child’s access to dangerous pharmaceutical interventions like puberty blockers and hormone shots that can sterilize a young child. The Oregon Department ...

He’s been called names, received death threats, been compared to Nazis and slaveholders, and been dragged into court again and again. All because he wants to say what he believes without fear of government punishment. But let’s back up. Jack is a cake artist in Colorado. As the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, he gladly serves all people. And like most artists, he always decides whether to create a custom cake based on what message it will express, never who requests it. For this, Colorado officials tried to punish Jack all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. They wanted to force Jack to say ...
