Colorado is at it again, trying to silence free speech. A state law forces businesses to refer to some customers with inaccurate pronouns, even if using them would violate the business owner's religious belief or conscience. That's a violation of free speech. But as Colorado has proved time and again, it has little concern for the First Amendment. Alliance Defending Freedom is challenging the law on behalf of a Christian bookstore and a sports apparel company, but a court recently ruled against them. With ADF's help, they've appealed, and they'll continue fighting to ensure Colorado doesn't get away with this attempt to skirt the First Amendment. Your gift helps protect free speech in cases like this all over the country. And for a limited time, your first gift to ADF is doubled with a special matching grant while funds last. Text WIRE to 83848 or go to joinadf.com slash wire to have your gift doubled.

And that's usually when financial planning starts to feel a lot less theoretical. Because life insurance is one of those things almost everybody agrees is important.

Female athletes are being forced to compete against biological males, sometimes without their consent or even their knowledge. In Washington, high school sophomore Callie Keeler was sexually assaulted on the wrestling mat during a tournament. Only afterward did she learn her opponent was a boy who identifies as a girl. With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, Callie is bravely suing the state over a policy that not only allows males to compete in girls' high school sports, but doesn't require schools to disclose that information to female athletes or their parents. Don't let schools put gender ideology over the safety of girls in sports. Your support today can help fight for Callie and other athletes like her. For a limited time, your first gift at ADF will be doubled by a special matching grant while funds last. Text WIRE to 83848 or go to joinadf.com slash WIRE to have your gift doubled.
