When you join with other friends of freedom to participate in the National Freedom Candle initiative, you can become part of our united effort to shine the light of freedom in the midst of hostility both near and far. Activists in the Biden administration, giant corporations, and state governments across the country are getting bolder in their attempts to restrict your freedoms: People are being targeted and punished for their faith in public schools, universities, and in the workplace. Children are also being misled into experimental “gender transition” procedures, are being indoctrinated ...

The most powerful institutions in our country—from the media to schools and universities to the federal government itself—no longer see the need to protect the opportunities, privacy, and safety of girls and women. Instead, they’re pushing policies based on gender ideology. Gender ideology inverts God’s design for humanity as created male or female. It attacks our identity as God’s image-bearers and tells us to bear the image of whatever we want: male, female, non-binary, or anything else we can imagine. This is a lie. But this ideology doesn't just confuse people with its lie. This lie is ...

Parents have the responsibility to direct their children’s general health and well-being. And the Constitution protects the fundamental rights of parents to raise and educate their children consistent with their beliefs and values. But, unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped some government officials from trying to interfere with parental rights and undercut the important role of mothers and fathers in their children’s lives. For example, more and more school districts are ignoring parents’ instructions and even concealing information about their children’s education on critical issues like sex ...

You Can Double Your Gift to Protect Kids Government officials are crossing the line, harming kids, and ignoring parents’ rights. For the vast majority of our nation’s history, everyone agreed that parents get to make the educational, medical, religious, and other important life decisions for their children. But now, there are some government officials who want more power. They think they know better than parents. And they are pushing destructive ideologies—like radical gender ideology and critical race theory—on the captive audience of children in schools, confusing kids about their bodies ...

Parents have the responsibility 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. And in one of the most egregious examples of this, there are school districts across the country that advance the idea that gender is socially constructed and that it can be chosen and changed. This flatly contradicts the Bible’s teaching and obvious biological truth. This lie is causing real-world harm, as school districts enable and sometimes coerce teachers and school ...

Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys are defending the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) and two pregnancy centers challenging Vermont state officials for unconstitutionally restricting the centers’ speech and provision of services. But pregnancy resource centers across the state of Vermont—those like Branches—find themselves stifled after the state passed a law impeding the ability of pro-life pregnancy centers to continue providing help and support to Vermont women and families. The law censors the centers’ ability to advertise their services. It also impedes their ...

Gender theory is harming children and poisoning our culture. It’s just that simple. From the classrooms to the playing fields to adoption policy, gender theory seeks to distort the clear truth and is undermining one of the most foundational realities of what it means to be human: the fact that we are each created male or female. Alliance Defending Freedom is on the front lines, pushing back against gender theory in the culture and in the courtroom. We’re challenging policies like “gender transition” plans that mislead and deceive parents about the care of their children. And policies that ...

When Dayspring Christian Learning Center is threatened, your freedom is on the line, too. When the federal government tries to force faith-based ministries and schools to violate their beliefs to receive needed funding, kids in need lose. And this time, it’s dozens of poor and minority students at Dayspring Christian Learning Center in El Cajon, California, who could be losing out on lunches they desperately need. This is a case of government officials placing ideology above the health and well-being of children—which has happened far too often in the past few years. And it’s a blatant ...
