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 ...

School is back in session and parents need to know what’s happening in their child’s school. Are they being exposed to inappropriate materials on sexuality and gender? Do parents have the option to opt their kids out of such curriculum? Does the school have a secret policy to “transition” confused students without the knowledge or consent of their parents? Activists promoting harmful gender ideology are putting the health and innocence of children at risk. But many parents aren’t sure what do to protect their children. That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom has created a short, free guide to ...

Federal, state, and local governments are pushing a radical gender ideology that says gender is determined by our feelings rather than by biology. But perhaps most dangerous of all, some officials want to censor any debate regarding gender ideology—and this censorship has also made its way into schools. Liam Morrison, a 12-year-old student at Nichols Middle School in Middleborough, Massachusetts, is all too familiar with this censorship. When Liam wore a T-shirt to school that said, “There are only two genders,” the school responded by promptly pulling him out of class and ordering him to ...

Counselors are increasingly coming under threat from local, state, and federal laws and policies that seek to insert the government’s preferred views on gender into private conversations between a counselor and clients who are minors. Counselors are facing the prospect of making a choice no American should ever have to make: speak the truth to clients knowing they might face devastating consequences, or abandon their faith in order to speak only government-approved values and perspectives. The government has no business censoring conversations between clients and counselors, and Alliance ...

The job of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is to protect Americans’ health and safety. But the FDA has betrayed this trust and has done the exact opposite by putting women and girls in harm’s way. On March 26, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in Alliance Defending Freedom’s case challenging the FDA’s reckless and unlawful removal of commonsense safeguards on abortion drugs. The pro-women doctors we represent have witnessed firsthand the harm to women and girls caused by the FDA’s reckless actions. Under the FDA’s current rules, prescribers do not check women for life ...

Tens of thousands of children throughout the country need loving and stable families. But the United States is currently facing a shortage of loving foster care and adoptive homes, and the nation is facing a crisis. In Oregon, several hundred children are up for adoption and desperately need someone to care for them, and yet the state is putting their needs second to politics. For Oregon, a loving and stable home isn’t enough. They’re requiring that prospective adoptive parents agree with the state’s views on radical gender ideology. They’re turning down anyone who won’t lie to a child about ...

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 ...
