Dear Friend,

This year was a pretty scary one for the country and for church-state separation. Not only were there a staggering number of Supreme Court cases that threatened our democracy, but Christian nationalist groups backed by a billion-dollar shadow network attempted to undermine church-state separation, redefine religious freedom, and legally justify discrimination.

We have our work cut out for us, but we have you and your steadfast commitment to the separation of religion and government and to AU. We need your support now more than ever. Will you be among the first to make a matched donation to help us reach our $100,000 year-end goal?

If we’re going to save the freedoms we cherish, we need a national recommitment to the separation of church and state. As an AU supporter, you are at the forefront of this fight. Together we can move our country toward our goal of freedom without favor and equality without exception.

Thanks to an especially motivated group of your fellow donors, whatever you can give to our year-end campaign will be matched, up to $100,000. Your tax-deductible gift will have twice the impact.

Our work is only possible because of support from donors like you. Please make your tax-deductible, matched gift to Americans United today to show your commitment to church-state separation.

Church-state separation is the shield that protects religious freedom and so many other issues we care about—reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ equality, racial justice, public education and much more.

With your support, AU can forge ahead—just as we have for 75 years—in this critical fight for our fundamental right to live as ourselves and believe as we choose. But only with you by our side.

You have high hopes for our nation. So do we. Act on those hopes by contributing to AU today.

With hope and determination,

Rachel K. Laser
President and CEO

*Online contributions will be matched through Dec. 31, 2022, up to a limit of $100,000. All gifts made in excess of this limit will still provide valuable funding for AU’s efforts to defend church-state separation.
