Debanking people because of their speech or religious activity is a real & growing threat in America. Thanks Sen. Andrew Jones for championing #SB228 to protect Alabama consumers from this modern day version of redlining. And thanks @AlabamaEagle for helping lead the charge!

Thanks @mayes_middleton for introducing #SB240 which safeguards privacy and safety for women and girls in schools, govt buildings, shelters, and more. It’s just common sense that men don’t belong in women’s spaces. And huge thanks to @txvalues for helping lead the charge!
⬇️Must read column from @tonyashellnutt @JCarpenterTN on the need for strong parental rights laws. Hoping to see South Carolina protect Palmetto families from government interfering with parental decision-making.
"It is ultimately parents who have the right and moral duty to raise and nurture their child." Yes! Thanks to @ADFLegal for this great column on parental rights. Loving all the open🎙️ submissions on FITSNews lately. fitsnews.com/2025/02/13/par…
There is a lot to celebrate today with SCOTUS taking up the Idaho & West Virginia #SaveWomensSports laws. But I wanted to thank three personal heroes who made this possible: @Barbara_Ehardt, @ruckerforwv, and Sen. Amy Grady, the courageous legislators who sponsored these bills.
SCOTUS agreed to hear the challenges to the Idaho and West Virginia #SaveWomensSports Laws! @ADFLegal was leading the charge on this from the beginning - representing athletes in CT, ID, WV and working with courageous legislators on laws to protect fairness on the playing field.

UPenn is not only going to restore records & titles denied to deserving women, it is adopting a policy restoring sanity in women's sports. For a decade, @ADFLegal has tirelessly advocated to preserve women's spaces & sports and to help make wins like this happen!

100 years ago, SCOTUS affirmed in Pierce v. Society of Sisters that “the child is not the mere creature of the State.” But today? Federal programs are still undermining parental rights. ADF’s @MattSharpADF & @KateAnderson_AZ write in @DailySignal as we mark this pivotal…
To truly have educational freedom, parents must have options. But in Oklahoma, one of those options--an innovative charter school started by a Catholic group--is at risk of being taken away. Today, @ADFLegal is defending the freedom of religious groups to start charter schools.…
What a difference an election makes: In 2022, Indiana passed a #SaveWomensSports law protecting fairness for girls in K-12 schools. But the legislature had to override a veto by then-Gov. Holcomb--who chose to turn a blind eye to Hoosier girls losing out to men dominating girls'…
So much #commonsense wrapped up in this 30 sec. clip. @_selinasoule @MattSharpADF @NEWSMAX
Thanks Leader @ScottStadthagen for protecting free speech for Alabama’s teachers & students. No one should be forced to speak a message they disagree with. @Adflegal clients John Kluge & Peter Vlaming were punished for declining to use inaccurate pronouns that promote harmful…
Thank you @GovGianforte for signing two bills that protect the privacy, safety, and dignity of women and girls, and that ensure female athletes of all ages continue to have a fair and level playing field. Letting men intrude into women’s spaces and on their sports teams is an…
Thank you @wvgovernor for signing SB 456 and highlighting the courage of @ADFLegal's client, Adaleia Cross. This law ensures that no young woman is forced to share a locker room or other private space with a male.
Enjoyed productive meetings today in MO, discussing @ADFLegal’s work, to champion rights/freedoms. Thank you @MOTreasurer (@MalekVivek), @MORightToLife, and @davidwasinger, @BenBakerMO for your time and efforts! @MattSharpADF (Denise Burke)
Thanks @Rawlings4Ky for sponsoring #SB60 to help safeguard religious freedom for Kentucky and for inviting ADF’s @GregBaylor to testify. And huge shoutout to @KentuckyFamily & @CPC4Kentucky for leading the charge to defend our First Freedom in KY!


Great hearing today in Montana on #SB240 to protect businesses & consumers from discriminatory debanking. Thanks @FJMandeville for sponsoring this critical bill and @MontanaFamilies for your support! Let’s stand with hardworking Montanans against woke banks & payment processors.
Great to see Kansas join the growing list of states protecting kids from puberty blockers, hormones, and sterilizing surgeries. Huge thanks to @KSFamilyVoice for their leadership on this issue!
❗BREAKING❗ The Kansas Legislature voted to override Gov. Kelly’s veto of a bill that protects kids from life-altering gender transition surgeries. Kansas joins 26 other states with laws protecting children. No one has the right to harm children, and, thankfully, states have the…
Thanks Rep. Michelle Davis & @indianafamily for standing for women's sports in Indiana. Every woman deserves a fair and level playing field--including collegiate athletes. @_selinasoule and @ADFLegal's Erica Steinmiller-Pedomo did a great job explaining the need for #HB1041.…
