It’s costly to tell the truth today. It can cost you your reputation, your livelihood, and even your friends and family. But far greater is the cost of not standing up to these lies—especially in America’s schools. When the government shuts down speech, it teaches the next generation what is and isn’t acceptable to say. When the government hides critical information from parents, it drives a wedge between parents and their children—and leaves kids vulnerable to damaging lies. When the government bows to the idea that speech and ideas can be violence, it teaches our future leaders to choose ...

Our culture is increasingly hostile to those of faith and common sense. Every day, Americans are losing their jobs, their businesses are threatened, and their speech is silenced. But we’re hopeful, not anxious, about the future of freedom. We have an opportunity to engage our culture, and we’re going to double down in 2024 in three key ways: countering censorship, challenging gender ideology, and securing parental rights. It’s going to take the entire alliance—including folks like you—to successfully contend for the truth. Will you step up right now with a gift of $50, $75, $100, $250, or more ...

There's a struggle for truth playing out across our nation. Many of those in power are trying to intimidate and silence those who believe in our God-given freedoms. But through the generosity of our Ministry Friends like you, we're standing for the right to speak freely with courageous clients like Lorie Smith, who just won her landmark victory for free speech at the U.S. Supreme Court. Even after her win in 303 Creative v. Elenis—ADF's 15th Supreme Court victory in 12 years—she was smeared and lied about in the media and by government officials. But Lorie's win was a win for all to speak ...

The right to live and speak the truth is increasingly threatened. From policies that censor and punish everyday Americans for speaking according to their values, to government harassment of religious ministries. You see it more and more.

ADF is the world’s largest legal organization committed to protecting religious liberty, freedom of speech, marriage and family, parental rights, and the sanctity of human life. We’re in this for the long haul. We ...

Right now, government officials here and around the world are trying to make faith a private matter. Under this worldview, beliefs—including historic Christian beliefs—that the state doesn’t like must be silenced. This is wrong. It violates the God-given dignity of every human being. And you can help do something about it. Your gift today is critical. The generosity of people like you will help protect your right to raise your family, live out your beliefs, and express your faith—without fear of government punishment. Whatever you give will be combined with a special $500,000 challenge grant ...

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, the abortion lobby has been hard at work to deceive Americans about abortion. They want the nation to embrace the destructive lies that women never regret choosing abortion over life, and that women could be prosecuted for seeking treatment for ectopic pregnancies and other life-threatening conditions. Pro-abortion activists want you to believe that abortion is good for women. But this could not be further from the truth. We know some pregnant women face very difficult circumstances—and they deserve better options than abortion. Abortion comes with a high risk ...

Ronald Reagan once said, Freedom … is never more than one generation away from extinction. We are seeing that truth play out before our very eyes. Today, activists and government officials are increasingly misusing the levers of law and policy — at the local, state, federal, and even international levels — to impose a new orthodoxy. This new orthodoxy threatens to silence, punish, and even ruin those who seek to speak and live consistent with the fact that … … life begins at conception. … God designed marriage to be between one man and one woman. … God made men and women equal, but different. ...

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 ...
