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 ...

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 ...

Online media such as Facebook and Twitter have become the primary way many, if not most, Americans access the news.

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.

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?
