Dear Friend,

As Americans United begins to close the books on our current fiscal year, it’s critical that we are ready for next year’s onslaught of attacks on religious freedom. Christian nationalists and other extremists will not stop their relentless campaign to corrupt the true meaning of religious freedom and to dismantle the already endangered separation between religion and government.

Today you can take an especially strong stand with us because all gifts up to $10,000 will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, through September 30, thanks to a generous fellow AU member.

Your support means readiness. And readiness means everything because our work is needed across a wide range of fronts:

• Advancing legislation, including the Do No Harm Act, in Congress. 
• Defending people like Gregg Tucker, Shelly Fitzgerald and Mark Janny, whose lives have been upended by unchecked violations of religious freedom. 
• Defending all our kids from religious coercion in public schools. 
• Advocating on behalf of religious minorities and people who follow no religion, who are increasingly left out of religious freedom discussions and protections.
• Partnering with faith leaders to fight discrimination masquerading as religious freedom.
• Continuing to educate the public so they understand the importance of church-state separation in all our lives.

It takes a smart, dedicated team backed by significant resources to fight these battles. And it takes your generous and motivated support.

Please make the most of this unique opportunity to have your generous donation to AU go twice as far to safeguard religious freedom.

Whatever the next battle is to redefine America as a Christian nation, your support will make sure AU is ready to fight back and win. 

With hope and resolve,

Rachel K. Laser
President and CEO

*Online contributions will be matched through Sept. 30 up to a limit of $10,000. All gifts made in excess of this limit will still provide valuable funding for AU’s efforts to defend church-state separation.
