Alliance Defending Freedom: Defending Religious Freedom and Human Rights

The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is a non-profit legal organization founded in 1994 to advocate for religious freedom, human dignity, and the sanctity of life. The organization has a team of over 3,000 lawyers, advocates, and communicators who work together to promote and defend these fundamental values.

One of the main areas of focus for Alliance Defending Freedom is the protection of free speech and religious freedom. The organization has taken up several cases involving individuals and organizations whose rights to express their beliefs and opinions have been threatened or violated. ADF has represented students who were disciplined or punished for expressing their faith on campus, as well as organizations that were denied access to public spaces or funding because of their religious beliefs.

The Alliance Defending Freedom believes that free speech and religious freedom are fundamental human rights that should be protected and defended. The organization is committed to ensuring that governments or other entities do not infringe upon these rights. Through its litigation and advocacy efforts, ADF is working to create a culture where individuals and organizations can express their beliefs without fear of censorship or retribution.

ADF has achieved significant successes in its mission, including representing clients in landmark cases before the US Supreme Court and other courts worldwide. Some of their notable victories include defending the right of a baker in Colorado to decline to create a custom cake for a same-sex wedding, protecting the rights of pregnancy centers to operate without being forced to promote abortion, and securing the right of religious groups to access public spaces for their activities.

In addition to its litigation efforts, ADF provides legal training and resources to individuals, organizations, and governments worldwide. Through its Blackstone Legal Fellowship Program, the organization trains and equips the next generation of lawyers and advocates to uphold the principles of religious freedom, human dignity, and the sanctity of life.
