Dear Friend,
There are moments when the defense of religious liberty requires more than agreement. It requires action.
Advocates for Faith & Freedom is currently facing a critical fundraising need, and we are prayerfully asking a select group of generous-hearted supporters to consider making a leadership gift of $1,000, $5,000, or $10,000 to help us continue the work God has placed before us.
This is not a general appeal. This is a timely request tied to the very real legal battles unfolding right now.
Just today, Advocates for Faith & Freedom, in collaboration with the ACLJ, filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court on behalf of Calvary Chapel San Jose and Pastor Mike McClure in St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy. This case asks the Supreme Court to protect religious families and faith-based institutions from being excluded from generally available public benefits simply because they refuse to compromise their beliefs.
At the heart of the case is a basic constitutional principle: the government should not punish families, churches, schools, or ministries for living according to their faith.
For Calvary Chapel San Jose and Pastor Mike McClure, this issue is not theoretical. They understand what happens when government officials single out people of faith for disfavored treatment. After standing firm during the COVID-19 pandemic, they faced more than $1.2 million in fines for holding worship services.
Now, they are standing with families and faith-based schools in another fight before the highest court in the land.
This is the kind of work Advocates for Faith & Freedom exists to do.
We defend churches. We stand with pastors. We protect parents. We advocate for families. We fight for the First Amendment freedoms that allow believers to worship freely, educate their children according to their convictions, and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ without government hostility or coercion.
But we cannot do this alone.
Every Supreme Court brief, every lawsuit, every demand letter, every legal strategy, and every client we serve requires resources. As a nonprofit legal ministry, we depend on faithful donors who believe these freedoms are worth defending for this generation and the next.
Today, we are asking you to prayerfully consider making a special leadership gift of $1,000 to $10,000.
Your gift will help us continue taking on the cases that matter most — cases that defend religious liberty, free speech, parental rights, election integrity, the unborn, and the constitutional foundations that protect our ability to live out our faith in public.
We know not everyone can give at this level. But for those who can, this is a meaningful opportunity to strengthen the legal defense of religious freedom at a critical time.
If God has placed it on your heart to help carry this mission forward, we invite you to give today.
Thank you for standing with Advocates for Faith & Freedom. Your prayers, generosity, and courage help make this work possible!
For faith and freedom,
Robert Tyler
President and Chief Counsel
