When the government discriminates against foster/adoptive parents based on their religious beliefs, children are harmed. These kids need a forever home—not political ideology. Christians and the church have been key to providing resources and open arms to vulnerable children for hundreds of years. The earliest orphanages in North America were created by dedicated Christian groups, and these faithful people continue to lead the way today. Yet, some state officials now reject Christian and other religious families—forcing children to wait longer for a loving home—because they disagree with the ...

HELP OUR TEACHERS FREELY SPEAK

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 ...

Help ADF defend them and others standing for free speech! Jacksonville, FL-based Queen of Angels Catholic Bookstore and owner Christie DeTrude simply strive to honor God and wish to promote their beliefs, including through the store’s website and YouTube channel. The bookstore joyfully serves all people, and sells its products to anyone, but Christie and her employees cannot speak a message they disagree with. An outrageous Jacksonville law is compelling businesses to speak inconsistent with their beliefs by promoting government-approved ideologies—or face devastating fines. Like far too many ...

Swiss government officials have removed a child from her loving home simply because the parents sought to protect her from gender ideology. After their daughter began expressing gender confusion, this mother and father pursued compassionate mental health care that would help their child feel comfortable in her own skin. But the school and local hospital, in conjunction with a trans-activist organization, tried to “socially transition” their daughter instead—against the parents’ clear wishes. Social transitions can often pave the way for harmful medical interventions, including life-altering ...

Coach David Bloch has given so much to the snowboarding program at Woodstock Union High School (WUHS) in Vermont. As the founder of the program, he has invested countless hours in student athletes. But none of that mattered when Coach Bloch respectfully shared his beliefs regarding gender with two athletes—and became the latest American punished for acknowledging biological reality. Before a competition pitting the WUHS girls’ snowboarding team against a team that included a male, two student athletes were discussing the issue. Coach Bloch overheard the conversation and simply spoke to the ...

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 ...

Online media such as Facebook and Twitter have become the primary way many, if not most, Americans access the news. But government officials have been pressuring Big Tech to do their dirty work for them—trying to sidestep First Amendment safeguards to censor viewpoints the government doesn’t like. Freedom needs to be safeguarded—even on social media. That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom is standing for the protection and preservation of free speech in cases where government actors, including the Biden administration, have been caught pressuring technology companies to do their bidding. “Using ...
