Standing for Freedom Since 1994
Alliance Defending Freedom is the world’s largest legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, marriage and family, parental rights, and the sanctity of life. We defend your most cherished liberties in Congress, state legislatures, and courtrooms across the country—all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary.
We don’t just stand for freedom—we win. ADF has won 15 victories at the Supreme Court since 2011, and we’re winning nearly 80 percent of all our cases—but we don’t do it alone.
When 35 Christian leaders came together to build a ministry that would defend religious liberty and keep the doors open for the Gospel, they knew it would take an alliance.
Like the Body of Christ, the alliance is one body made up of many parts. Attorneys play different roles than church and ministry leaders. Non-profit volunteers play different roles than legislators. And business professionals play a different role than grassroots advocates. Each person must play his or her particular role, under one shared vision, to ensure that religious freedom thrives.
We never charge our clients a dime. But that’s only possible because people like you give to support their defense and protect religious freedom, free speech, and the sanctity of life. Will you give today? Your gift will be 100% tax-deductible!
Securing Generational Wins that Change the Law and Culture
Here at Alliance Defending Freedom, we often talk about securing “Generational Wins” through our work in the courtroom and in the culture.
But what is a Generational Win? And why is it important?
A Generational Win achieves a significant victory changing the law and culture of the nation for a generation, and is sustained by deliberate action so that the victory endures for generations to come.
With God’s blessing (John 15:5) and the prayers and support of people like you, ADF is working to secure Generational Wins in the five key areas below.
Life Is Safeguarded
Guaranteeing the right to life from conception to natural death.
Religious Freedom Prevails
Restoring religious freedom as a fundamental right.
All Can Speak Freely
Securing free speech for all.
Marriage And Family Are Protected
Ensuring the law respects God’s created order for marriage, the family, and human sexuality.
Parental Rights Are Guaranteed
Guaranteeing the fundamental rights of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children.
Building an Alliance for Victory
Decades ago, the legal and cultural threats to religious liberty began multiplying. And for many years, very few Christians were showing up to defend your God-given and constitutionally protected freedoms in court. As a result, those seeking to restrict your right to freely live out your faith were often successful in their efforts.
By funding cases, training attorneys, and successfully advocating for freedom in the courtroom and in the court of public opinion, Alliance Defending Freedom changed that.
