Through the Stand for Freedom campaign, we are committed to raising our profile across the nation and around the world. We are doing this not in a spirit of pride, but of encouragement and inspiration. In this trying season, we want Christians and those who cherish freedom to know that they are not alone.

ADF has always understood the importance of alliance. Throughout our history, we have worked to bring likeminded organizations and individuals together. Right now, however, we believe it is time for ADF to step up. It is not enough for us to support this alliance. It is time to champion it — to raise the flag of freedom high.

Here’s one way to think of it: During the Civil War, troops on each side enlisted a flag-bearer. This soldier had one responsibility: to keep the flag flying. As long as the flag was flying high, troops knew that the struggle was still on and victory was possible. Seeing their flag gave soldiers the courage to keep pressing on.

By God’s grace and provision, ADF is well-positioned to be a flag-bearer in today’s continuing struggle for freedom.

The Stand for Freedom campaign is intended to inspire ADF’s Ministry Friends, followers, and our broader alliance to defend religious freedom, free speech, parental rights, and sanctity of life. We know that tens of millions of Americans are not on board with the far left’s plans for America. But many feel isolated, silenced, and powerless. Through this campaign, ADF wants to tell our allies and supporters that they are not alone — and they are not powerless.

The campaign empowers freedom-loving Americans in every sphere — education, business, finance, homemaking, the arts — to stand up for our fundamental freedoms. ADF has a strong record as a compelling voice of reason, a winsome and victorious advocate for truth. Consider our winning record:

• 12 victories at the U.S. Supreme Court — just in the past 10 years • A role in 61 U.S. Supreme Court victories • A 17–0 record defending our church and ministry clients from unconstitutional COVID-19 restrictions during the pandemic • 435 victories protecting free speech rights on public school campuses — some of the most heavily censored areas in our country

Americans have no greater friend than ADF when it comes to protecting life and our First Amendment freedoms. And the Biden administration can expect to meet ADF in court when they threaten life and violate those constitutional freedoms.

By God’s grace, ADF is taking a stand. For truth. For rights. For freedom.
