No parent should be kept in the dark about what’s happening with their child at school. And no teacher should be forced to comply with mandates from gender activists forcing them to violate their beliefs. But that’s what’s happening in school districts across the country. Stand with parents who are defending their rights to raise their children according to their beliefs, and with teachers and staff willing to speak the truth to activist school officials in places like Virginia’s Harrisonburg City Public Schools (HCPS). Alliance Defending Freedom is standing with these brave parents and ...

Female athletes spend years—even decades—of their lives training and honing their skills. They know that the difference between victory and defeat can be a single point or a tenth of a second. Fairness between competitors is critical. But the Biden administration and radical activists throughout the country are undermining the truth that there are biological differences between females and males by attempting to force women and girls to compete against males, who have significant—and documented—physical advantages. As this continues, women’s sports are being destroyed as opportunities and ...

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 ...

As a mother of five, Jessica knows what it’s like to provide a loving home. And as a widow, she knows what it’s like to lose a part of your family. So after hearing about another person’s adoption story, she felt inspired to make a happy home for children in need in the state of Oregon. But in Oregon, parents like Jessica must agree to use a child’s preferred pronouns, take children to LGBT-affirming events like Pride parades, and facilitate a child’s access to dangerous pharmaceutical interventions like puberty blockers and hormone shots that can sterilize a young child. The Oregon Department ...

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 ...

He’s been called names, received death threats, been compared to Nazis and slaveholders, and been dragged into court again and again. All because he wants to say what he believes without fear of government punishment. But let’s back up. Jack is a cake artist in Colorado. As the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, he gladly serves all people. And like most artists, he always decides whether to create a custom cake based on what message it will express, never who requests it. For this, Colorado officials tried to punish Jack all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. They wanted to force Jack to say ...

Imagine feeling a conviction to adopt and care for other children—to love those who lack a loving home. And now imagine that your state is excluding you from adoption because you won’t contradict your beliefs— you won’t encourage a child to identify as the opposite sex or take them to receive cross-sex hormone shots intended to block their natural biological development. This is exactly the situation Jessica Bates faces in Oregon. Oregon officials are preventing Jessica and others like her from adopting a child if they believe sex is unchangeable—whether based on Scripture or biology. It’s a ...
