Former Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran knows what it means to face the fire—both literal flames and the rising tide of threats to freedom of speech and religious liberty. Despite his sterling credentials—Cochran once held the nation’s highest firefighting role as U.S. Fire Administrator for the United States Fire Administration—he was fired from his position as Atlanta’s fire chief. Why? Because the government didn’t approve of his message about biblical marriage and sexuality that he included in a brief passage in a self-published book he wrote. We stood with Chief Cochran, and after years ...

Mainstream media and pro-abortion forces have not been honest about the dangers of abortion drugs. Women and girls across the country have suffered serious, even life-threatening, complications such as severe bleeding, infections, or sepsis because the FDA stopped requiring doctors to provide vital in-person exams to women using these high-risk drugs. The truth is, according to the FDA’s own label, one in 25 women who take abortion drugs will end up in the emergency room. This issue can be challenging for Americans to discuss. That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom has created a short ...

When it comes to these issues, we aren’t on the sidelines—we're in the action achieving significant victories for freedom. We were honored to ...

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 ...
