In an increasingly divided world, there are few ways that people can feel as if their beliefs and views on religion, marriage, and even human life are protected. Fortunately, Alliance Defending Freedom is one of the few resources people have that can help protect deep-rooted faith and freedom.
Alliance Defending Freedom is the world’s largest legal organization that prides itself on defending such tenets like the sanctity of life, parental rights, and constitutional rights like religious freedom and free speech. Their platform has been hailed as one that defends the rights of those who consider themselves pro-life and pro-conservationist, viewpoints that are considered somewhat controversial today thanks to ever-increasing political divides. However, Alliance Defending Freedom has proven that free speech continues to have a place in society.
Fighting the Chilling Effect
Free speech isn’t necessarily free, especially when expressing your views means getting shunned, sued, or iced out from customers and the community at large. Take Barronelle Stutzman, a floral artist who held on to her beliefs of marriage being between a man and a woman and who was subsequently ostracized for her action and sued by a same-sex couple. She later settled the suit and was able to retire without hefty attorney fees thanks to the representation of Alliance Defending Freedom.
Her case is just one of many that highlight ADF’s commitment to freedom of speech and freedom of American business owners to hold on to their beliefs and rights in an ever-increasing commercialized Nation. Alliance Defending Freedom also protects free speech rights for university students, as well as does international work protecting free speech and religious freedom worldwide.
Defending Christianity
ADF also most notably defends members of the Christian faith, fighting for rights such as the sanctity of life and pro-life expression. Take, for instance, the case of National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA), where ADF successfully protected pro-life centers from having to share messages that were pro-choice. Today’s Christian community can continue to practice their faith without conviction knowing the lawyers and team at ADF have over 70 supreme court victories under their belt.
