Friend,

Tonight the Senate confirmed Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court with a final vote of 52-48.

As we made clear to lawmakers and the public from the start of this deeply flawed confirmation process, Barrett is a threat to religious freedom, with a record that displays hostility to the separation of religion and government.

Now that she will sit on the Supreme Court for the foreseeable future, please know this: The work that all of us do – including YOU – to protect religious freedom just became more important than ever before. As Americans United has done for the past 73 years, we will continue to fight strategically to protect this freedom in difficult times.

Right now, AU is investing in the future of church-state separation like our most sacred rights depend on it – because they do. Show that you’re in this fight with us – please click here to rush an emergency donation to AU tonight.

Barrett’s confirmation jeopardizes the religious freedom of students and families in our public schools, the right to make decisions about your own health care, the right to choose whom you love, free from discrimination, and so much more.

Americans United is firmly committed to protecting these rights now and in the years ahead, and with your support we will win the difficult but crucial battles to come.

To help us protect religious freedom in the wake of this blow to church-state separation, please click here to donate an emergency gift tonight.

Barrett’s confirmation is difficult news to bear, but now the separation of religion and government needs us more than ever before. I’m so thankful to have your support.

In solidarity,

Rachel K. Laser
President and CEO
