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. When the WUHS women’s snowboarding team was scheduled to compete against a team that included a male, two student athletes were discussing the issue. Coach Bloch overheard the conversation and simply spoke to the ...

When Assistant Principal Emily Mais merely questioned the CRT-inspired curriculum that her school was forcing on students, she was ostracized, harassed, shamed, and even called racist. She saw that the “anti-racist” teaching training was actually directing teachers to be racist in seeing their students as members of groups, based on skin color, and treating them differently based on their race. The work environment got so bad that Emily was eventually forced to resign. With her Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, Emily has sued the school district, which violated her constitutionally ...

DONATE NOW There are Christian organizations all over the nation and in the state of Washington that exist to share the hope of the Gospel and to be the hands and feet of Jesus to people in need. Forcing these organizations to hire people who don't share their religious beliefs would fundamentally change their missions. They would cease to be Christian. Yet that's exactly what the state of Washington is trying to do by threatening penalties for failing to hire those do not share and live out the same faith. One of the ministries Washington is threatening is Yakima Union Gospel Mission. Founded ...

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 ...

When Hamouda became a Christian, he faced immense opposition. His wife, Nada, was still Muslim at the time, and her family was shocked. When Hamouda converted to Christianity, Nada’s family applied immense pressure for her and their children to abandon Hamouda and return to live with her family. In Sudan, the Sharia court dissolved their marriage, deeming it unlawful for a Muslim woman to be married to a Christian man. But by God’s providence, Nada later became a Christian, too—and reunited with her husband. The prosecutors wanted to charge them with apostasy—the “crime” of converting from ...

Now there’s no doubt. Detailed information released by the U.S. House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government makes plain that the Biden administration has been partnering with major banks and payment processors to censor non-profit ministries and threaten the freedom of everyday Americans. And now, the subcommittee has revealed that the government has targeted Alliance Defending Freedom. We’ve been unlawfully swept up in the federal government’s “domestic terrorist” dragnet. While ADF was advocating on behalf of the freedom of EVERY American to live according to ...

President Biden has promised to sign the “Equality Act” into law during his first 100 days if given the chance. Now, with its recent passage in the House, the chances of the “Equality Act” being signed into law are higher than ever before. The “Equality Act” would add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” as protected classes to many existing federal nondiscrimination laws. And though “nondiscrimination” sounds good in theory, that is not what this bill is truly about. The “Equality Act” is a deliberate and dangerous attempt to force people of faith to abandon their sincerely held beliefs ...

The First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom protects the right of Yakima Union Gospel Mission and other faith-based ministries to hire those who share and live out their beliefs. Yet instead of praising the Mission for the strides it has made in caring for the homeless, government officials are hitting the ministry with threats of unconstitutional penalties. Alliance Defending Freedom is standing beside the Mission in defense of religious liberty. We defend our clients all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary. Cases like that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars ...

The Constitution is the most important document in American civil life—the “supreme Law of the Land.” It shapes government structures, sets clear and strict limits on the power of our governments, and most importantly, enshrines many of our God-given rights.
