Alliance Defending Freedom Protecting Religious Freedom Across the Globe

 Formerly known as Alliance Defense Fund, created in
1994, the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has been bringing together some of
the best legal minds in the world to fight for the right of people to practice
the religion of their choice, maintain parental rights and protect the
interests of the basic family unit.  

  

Strong families backed by the freedom to practice a faith free of harassment and other
pressures are the foundation upon which American society is built. 

  

The Alliance Defending Freedom went to work back in the mid-1990s because it was becoming glaringly obvious that many of
our religious institutions had come under attack like never before. This
includes all faiths, from Christianity and Judaism to Muslims and Mormons. 

  

Even though the Alliance Defending Freedom was founded by prominent Christian
community leaders and legal scholars, this group is eager to defend anyone of
any faith if their basic right to worship as they choose is being impinged
upon. 

  

A key focus of Alliance Defending Freedom work in recent years has been on parental rights. This includes allowing parents to
have a say in what their children are being taught in public schools. Recently,
for example, some schools have been pushing broad concepts, such as critical
race theory, that discriminate against some students based on race. Sometimes
it takes a lawsuit filed against a school board to resolve these kinds of
issues. That’s what ADF does. 

  

In addition to dealing with issues in the United States, the ADF has reached out
across the globe to bring justice to people in many other nations who are
facing religious persecution and discrimination. Sometimes, this reaches
extreme levels. 

  

For example, tiny Christian minorities in Iraq have recently encountered fierce,
sometimes even violent oppression simply because they choose to practice a
belief system based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. The ADF has been
effective in advocating for these groups in other nations. Read this article for more
