Stop Forcing Churches To Disregard Their Faith
Churches and religious charities are pressured – sometimes even forced – to disregard their faith by the government.
Christian schools are being barred from public funding on the basis of their religious beliefs.
The right to hire individuals who share a church or a charity’s faith and the right to free exercise of their religious mission are two of the most important rights a religious organization possesses.
Federal law and the Constitution protect the rights of churches and religious organizations, but many times those laws are ignored or unenforced.
The ACLJ has fought these religious liberty cases in court and won. We constantly defend churches and religious organizations, including schools.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has proposed a new pro-religious liberty rule that would protect churches and religious charities from being forced to hire outside their faith. We’re filing legal comments in support of this rule and filing amicus briefs to defend religious organizations in court.
Without these protections, your church or school could be targeted. We need you to take action with us.

“Woke” Public School Teachers Are Now Targeting Christian Students
The wave of progressive ideology is continuously being pushed on our children in public and private schools. This is something we have fought against since the 90s. In a recent case in which we assisted, a public school drama teacher in Florida decided she was not going to allow a student to...
“Woke” Public School Teachers Are Targeting Christian Students
Within the first year of the ACLJ’s founding, our Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow was already fighting at the United States Supreme Court for students’ right to religious freedom under the First Amendment within the public school system in Board of Education v. Mergens (1990) . And we won. Unfortunately,
