WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST LEGAL ORGANIZATION
 
Defending 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 courts across the country - all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary.

We don't just defend freedom - we win. ADF has won 13 Supreme Court victories since 2011 and we are winning nearly 80% 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 covenant is a body made up of many parts. Advocates play different roles than church and ministry leaders. Nonprofit volunteers play different roles than legislators. And business professionals play a different role than grassroots advocates. Each person must fulfill their particular role, under a shared vision, to ensure that religious freedom thrives.

Join the alliance today and become part of the movement to defend your God-given and constitutionally protected freedoms.

We never charge our clients a cent. But this is only possible because people like you give to support your 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 victories that change law and culture
Here at Alliance Defending Freedom, we often talk about securing "Generational Victories" through our work in the courtroom and culture.

But what is a Generational Victory? And why is it important?

A Generational Victory achieves a significant victory by changing the law and culture of the nation for a generation, and is sustained by deliberate action so that the victory endures for generations.

With God's blessing (John 15:5) and the prayers and support of people like you, ADF is working to secure Generational Victories in the five main areas below. 

Life is Protected

Guarantee the right to life from conception to natural death.

Religious Freedom Prevailed

Restoring religious freedom as a fundamental right.

Everyone Can Speak Freely

Guarantee freedom of speech for all.

Marriage and family are protected

Ensure that the law respects God's creative order for marriage, family, and human sexuality.

Parental Rights are Guaranteed

Guarantee the fundamental rights of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children.

Building an Alliance for Victory
Decades ago, legal and cultural threats to religious freedom were multiplying. And for many years, very few Christians appeared to defend their God-given and constitutionally protected freedoms in court. As a result, those seeking to restrict your right to live your faith freely often succeeded in their efforts.

In financial cases, training lawyers and successfully defending freedom in court and in the court of public opinion, Alliance Defending Freedom has changed that.
