In courts and in Congress, Americans United protected LGBTQ people from discrimination as the Trump administration and the president’s allies tried to misuse religious freedom to justify discrimination in health care, employment, social services, businesses and other aspects of life.

Support is growing for the Do No Harm Act – the federal bill that Americans United is championing to restore the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to its original intent of protecting religious freedom while also clarifying that it may not be used to harm others.

In 2019, Americans United fought against multiple attacks on public education and religious freedom as federal and state officials proposed new private school voucher schemes that would violate religious freedom by diverting taxpayer dollars from public schools to fund private, mostly religious schools that can discriminate against children and families.
