Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is a leading legal organization dedicated to
upholding religious freedom, free speech, marriage and family values, parental
rights, and the sanctity of life. Founded in 1994 by Christian community
leaders, ADF has emerged as a stalwart advocate for the First Amendment rights
of individuals to freely practice their faith. 

ADF has a notable track record of success in defending these fundamental rights. Since 2011, they
have litigated and secured 14 victories at the Supreme Court, setting important
legal precedents. One landmark case that captured national attention was Masterpiece
Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. This case involved a baker who cited his religious
beliefs as the reason for refusing to create a cake for a same-sex wedding. In
a significant 7-2 ruling, the Supreme Court sided with the baker, affirming the
importance of respecting religious convictions. 

ADF’s work extends beyond the courtroom. Their Center for Academic Freedom (CAF) is dedicated to
protecting free speech rights on college campuses. CAF has been successful in
challenging speech codes that restrict students’ constitutional rights and combating
policies that infringe on free association. With a 100% success rate against
anti-free speech zones, over 435 campus victories, and a 91% win rate in direct
litigation, ADF has proven its commitment to defending freedom of expression in
the academic sphere. 

Parental rights also occupy a central place in ADF’s agenda. They firmly believe that children
belong first and foremost to their families and not to the state. Alliance Defending Freedom advocates for laws that promote parental accountability, choice,
and transparency in education. Their Parents Toolkit on Critical Theory equips
parents with information to better understand and protect their rights. A
current case being litigated by ADF, CI v. Albemarle County School Board,
involves a group of diverse families challenging racially divisive ideologies
adopted by the school board. 

ADF’s impact extends beyond the United States. Through Alliance Defending Freedom
International, they engage in legal advocacy on behalf of Christians and
religious minorities globally. Their work has resulted in significant victories
before the European Court of Human Rights and various international
organizations. 

As we navigate an ever-changing legal and cultural landscape, ADF stands as a steadfast defender
of our foundational rights. Through strategic litigation, advocacy efforts, and
empowering individuals, ADF continues to safeguard religious freedom, free
speech, and the sanctity of life for generations to come. Visit this page for more information.
