Americans United recognized Kaylee Cole of Louisiana with AU’s annual David Norr Youth Activist Award “for steadfast commitment to religious freedom and the rights of conscience in public education.” Kaylee successfully challenged her public school district's practice of violating students’ religious freedom through the widespread promotion of Christianity.

In her monthly Church & State magazine column, AU President and CEO Rachel Laser shares several personal stories from young activists who explained how church-state separation is on the line if Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

As Americans United’s awesome team of summer interns heads back to college, they reflect on their summer of standing up for church-state separation and the rights of women, religious minorities, the LGBTQ community and many others.
