Dear Washington Times Subscriber,
As someone who reads Washington Times and follows the news, you've likely noticed an increase in stories about efforts to silence people, the Biden administration's unlawful power grabs, and threats to religious freedom this year.
We at Alliance Defending Freedom have noticed it too. ADF is a nonprofit law firm dedicated to protecting your First Amendment freedoms. And in the past year, requests for our legal services have skyrocketed – up to over 10,000.
You see, government officials and activist groups are weaponizing certain values—things like "equity," "diversity," "safety," and "inclusion"—as tools of Cancel Culture. Those who disagree are threatened, targeted, harassed, and punished.
Students. Parents. Teachers. Faith-based ministries. Religious colleges and universities. Artists. Small business owners. Your loved ones. You. No one is exempt.
But Alliance Defending Freedom is not willing to stand by and let this happen. And we hope you feel the same way.
Through the support of people like you, we can provide a strong legal defense for people of faith who are being threatened with lawsuits, fines, job loss, and even jail time because of their beliefs.
And with 2021 ending soon, your help today will come at a critical time.
We are trusting God to provide—through partners like you—$11.8 million by 11:59 p.m. on December 31.
Thanks to a generous Ministry Friend, your gift right now may even be eligible for a special $500,000 matching grant*, doubling the impact of your gift this year-end!
Will you make a year-end gift right now to stand against the efforts to "cancel" and punish people like you? Your gift will help provide those in need with a strong legal defense!
You can help defend them! Unfortunately, there's no shortage of people and organizations that need your help.
But your year-end gift today will help provide them a strong and successful (we win 4 out of 5 cases—thanks be to God) legal defense.
Your gift will help: - Defend private employers, like The Daily Wire and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, that are challenging the Biden administration's unlawful vaccine mandate.
- Stand with faith-based ministries targeted by the government, like Seattle's Union Gospel Mission. The Washington Supreme Court presented the Mission with an impossible choice: Hire those who disagree with your beliefs or change how you serve the homeless. We have appealed the ministry's case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
- Protect the rights of parents, teachers, and students who are, more and more, becoming the target of radical ideologies like critical theory. You'll stand beside parents and teachers like Monica Gill of Loudoun County, Virginia, who isn't afraid to challenge the politicization of education.
- Preserve the freedom of small-business owners and creative professionals like cake artist Jack Phillips. Jack is still fighting for his religious freedom after nearly a decade in court.
- Represent colleges (like College of the Ozarks in Missouri), medical professionals, and female athletes that are suffering with the effects of the Biden administration redefining "sex" in federal law to include "gender identity and sexual orientation."
- And so much more …
Will you make your year-end gift today? Your gift may be eligible to be DOUBLED by a special matching grant*! Will you be silent? Attacks on your freedoms and constitutional rights are increasing.
In 2020, we received more than 5,200 requests for legal assistance. In 2021, requests have nearly doubled, totaling more than 9,500 so far!
From the Biden administration to Members of Congress hostile to freedom to activist groups like the ACLU, the opposition is powerful and well-funded. Religious freedom, free speech, the sanctity of life, parental rights, and God's design for marriage and family are all under constant assault.
But you can make your voice heard and defend the freedoms we cherish as Americans with a gift right now. Plus, you might even be eligible to have your gift DOUBLED by the special matching grant*!
When people of faith stand, pray, and unite in action, we can defeat the efforts to deny the freedoms of all Americans.
If America is going to remain a beacon of freedom to the rest of the world, we must act now to preserve our most cherished liberties—before things get even worse.
This Christmas season, don't be silent. Lend your voice for freedom.
*Your gift will be DOUBLED if you've never given a gift to Alliance Defending Freedom—until the match is met. For existing Ministry Friends, until the match is met, your gift will be DOUBLED if you have not given since December 31, 2019. Or, if your gift is an increase from your 2020 giving, your gift will also be doubled. For example, if you gave $500 in total in 2020, and your gift today makes your total 2021 giving $700, then $200 will be matched. | | | |
