If you heard about a well-funded right-wing group w/a detailed plan to achieve conservative policy goals, you’d likely think of #Project2025. The #HeritageFoundation–backed coalition has crafted an agenda for a 2nd #Trump term that encompasses some truly unsettling policy ideas, & the amount of negative attention it’s gotten from Democrats, celebrities, & even Trump himself has led its leaders to retreat from the spotlight.

The thing is, there’s a lesser-known organization that’s already been working for decades to reshape America into a #Christian nation—& will keep doing so, regardless of who wins the presidential #election in November.

The #law firm, which is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, says its work “advances the God-given right to live & speak the Truth” & publicly describes itself as “the nation’s largest legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, marriage & family, parental rights, & the sanctity of life.” #ADF reported >$100 million in revenue in both 2021 & 2022.

The organization has already made great strides in implementing its #FarRight agenda through its work on behalf of #Christian fundamentalist, anti-#LGBTQ+, & anti-#abortion plaintiffs. It was integral to the #SCOTUS overturning #RoeVWade in 2022, & now it’s waging war against protections based on #SexualOrientation & #gender #identity. The group’s CEO, Kristen Waggoner, has said she believes that the 2015 marriage #equality ruling should be overturned as well.
