Dear Friend,

Our country faces a crisis, but I have hope. Hope that, together, we can lead a national recommitment to the separation of church and state. Too many people take this fundamental American principle for granted. But this year, Christian nationalists’ extremist activity has begun to wake people up to the importance of our issue. There has never been a more important moment to build our movement and fight back. Because the more religious extremists attack the church-state wall, the more religious freedom, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ equality, public education, racial justice and so much more hang in the balance. 

Friend, can I count on you to support our mission—our democracy—with a matched, tax-deductible gift to our year-end campaign today?

We face another potentially devastating year of attacks on church-state separation from the ultra-conservative bloc of the Supreme Court. And we know emboldened religious extremists and their lawmaker allies will continue pushing their dangerous agenda to force all of us to live by their narrow beliefs. We need to summon our collective power to achieve freedom without favor and equality without exception for all.

We need your help. Please recommit to defending church-state separation and true religious freedom by making a generous tax-deductible contribution now.

Thanks to a group of fellow AU supporters, all donations between now and the end of the year will be generously matched, up to $100,000. Meeting our year-end goal of $200,000 will launch us into 2023 and the challenges that await.

With your help, Americans United will resolutely defend religious freedom, church-state separation, and our democracy.

Gratefully,

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.
