This year has seen an onslaught of radical assaults on our freedom, but together we have stood strong to defend life and liberty.

From ObamaCare’s abortion-pill mandate at the Supreme Court to countless assaults on our religious heritage as a nation, 2014 is already shaping up to be a busy and critically important year.

Each of these challenges gives us an opportunity to defend our God-given inalienable rights.

We are ready to meet these challenges head on.

We filed one of the largest lawsuits we have ever undertaken against an out-of-control IRS to defend the constitutional rights of pro-life and conservative Americans. The Obama Administration is already trying to avoid accountability for unlawfully targeting Americans by having our suit dismissed. We have assembled our largest legal team yet, and will fight back to hold them accountable.

Angry atheists continue their relentless push to strip every semblance of our religious heritage as a nation. We are preparing to file briefs next year to defend the Ground Zero Cross and a World War II memorial from being torn down in federal appeals court.

We continue to stand for the lives of the unborn and against the largest abortion provider in America, Planned Parenthood. The tax dollars of pro-life Americans should never fund the abortion industry. We are continuing to defend pro-life pregnancy centers from vicious attempts to shutdown their lifesaving work.

In one of the most important Supreme Court battles we have ever faced, we are fighting to defend the religious liberty of pro-life Americans from being forced to pay for abortion-pills. In 2013, we were 7-0 against the pro-abortion ObamaCare mandate. Next year, we will be filing a critical amicus brief at the Supreme Court on behalf of our clients and hundreds of thousands of Americans.

We will continue fighting for American Pastor Saeed Abedini’s freedom from torture and imprisonment in Iran because of his Christian faith. We will continue defending Christians in Egypt, Pakistan, Syria and elsewhere from growing jihadist persecution.

This is just a snapshot of the work we have been doing and will continue to do in the year ahead. We are fully engaged, aggressively fighting to defend faith and freedom.

Thank you for your continued support for the ACLJ as we stand in the gap, together we will continue to make an impact in these fights.

Happy New Year!
