John,
Christian teen Leah Sharibu's heartbreaking story has taken a devastating turn. We're taking urgent action.
Like Leah, many Christians in Nigeria live in constant fear. Women are abducted, abused, and enslaved. Christian children aren't safe at school. Families have been slaughtered.
Leah was abducted in 2018 by the Islamic militia Boko Haram, which threatened to murder or enslave her because she refused to renounce her Christian faith.
Leah's 18th birthday just passed – her fourth as a hostage. And now it's been reported that she's been forced to carry and give birth to TWO BABIES for these sadistic jihadists.
These coldblooded monsters ripped away her childhood.
Enough is enough. Jordan Sekulow recently delivered an oral intervention to the U.N. demanding international action. We're also working directly with our new Senior Counsel for Global Affairs Mike Pompeo, who placed Nigeria on a U.S. persecution watchlist when he was Secretary of State.
And this week, we just filed a written submission at the U.N. calling for urgent action to save Leah and protect Nigeria's women and children before it's too late. Take action with us.

We also have a major update on our fight to save lives here in the U.S. The Supreme Court has taken up a major case that could strike at the heart of Roe v. Wade and save countless babies. We're preparing our second brief in the case.
This is THE CASE we've been waiting for. Take action with us as our Supreme Court deadline looms.

Imagine your job forcing you to encourage someone to take the life of their unborn baby. This happened to a pro-life social worker who spends his life ministering to the homeless.
WE TOOK ACTION, sending a letter to his employer explaining that their policy violated multiple state and federal laws. The employer quickly reversed course in a victory for life.

The crisis on our southern border is worsening by the day, with illegal border crossings reaching an all-time high. As ACLJ Senior Counsel for Global Affairs Mike Pompeo points out, it can be traced directly to President Biden's decision to abandon the Trump Administration policies he helped implement as Secretary of State.

When a second grader had her Bible confiscated by school officials (yes, that's still happening in 2021), we sent a letter educating the school that such action was a violation of students' rights. The school backed down, and this little girl is once again happily taking her Bible to school.
