Friend,

I am writing to you because I know that you, like me, cherish the importance of keeping religion and government separate.

You understand that religious freedom is one of the most critical and foundational freedoms we have, that sadly it’s under attack like never before, and that Americans United is at the forefront of protecting this freedom and has been for the past 73 years.

That’s why I am asking you to join me – with just five days left in the year – in making your tax-deductible year-end contribution to AU. Our matching fund will double your donation, maximizing your impact this holiday season.

Please click here to donate your matched year-end gift today, and help us start the new year on track to protect religious freedom from unprecedented threats.

Here are just a few of the accomplishments YOU made possible over these last 12 months:

• AU’s world-class legal team sued to stop Trump’s Denial of Care Rule, which would invite health care workers and first-responders to deny care to people in need based on their religious objections. Thanks to our lawsuit, this rule was declared unlawful in its entirety by a federal judge!
• I testified before Congress in a hearing dedicated to the Do No Harm Act, a bill that AU was integral in getting introduced. We continue to build support for the principle that religious freedom should be used as a shield to protect, not as a sword to harm others.
• On behalf of our client Aimee Maddonna, AU has taken the government to court for allowing discrimination in our foster care system, which denies children access to the loving homes they deserve.
• We are actively litigating nine court cases against the Trump administration in defense of the separation of religion and government – and we are not backing down anytime soon.

We urgently need your support ahead of our year-end deadline. Please take advantage of our matching fund to DOUBLE your generous gift today.

Thanks so very much for being with us at this unique moment in our history.

In solidarity,

Rachel K. Laser
President and CEO

Online contributions will be matched through December 31, 2019, up to a limit of $75,000. All gifts made in excess of this limit will still provide valuable funding for AU’s efforts to defend church-state separation.
