You Can Defend the Right to Speak the Truth

In this moment, we’re seeing unprecedented efforts by government officials and private actors to censor people like you in the U.S. and believers around the world.

From American schools to high courts in Europe and nearly everywhere in between, people are being silenced or punished for expressing messages that the government disagrees with.

ADF clients can tell you just how close to home this hits—and why your gift today is essential:

• Your generosity will be a lifeline to believers like Finnish Parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen as she appeals a Finnish Supreme Court ruling finding her guilty of “hate speech” for expressing her views on biblical sexuality … in a 2004 pamphlet!
• You’ll stand alongside courageous young people like Gabby Stout, who was targeted, censored, and accused of a crime by her Charlotte, NC, high school for simply trying to memorialize Charlie Kirk.
• Your gift will fight back against the European Union’s Digital Services Act, which aims to control global speech—including yours—by supporting a landmark legal challenge from X (formerly Twitter) and Elon Musk.

The right to speak freely … the right to speak the truth … is the foundation of any free society. It’s not just protected by the First Amendment—it’s, first and foremost, given by God.

Once the power to decide what’s true rests with government officials, bureaucrats, or institutional gatekeepers, the line between protecting people and suppressing ideas quickly blurs. No free society can function this way.

Thanks to the generosity of a matching grant, your gift today will be DOUBLED—dollar for dollar—as long as matching funds remain available!

Today, you can be free speech’s advocate. With your tax-deductible gift, you’ll help ensure that this generation—and the next—can be free to speak the truth!
