Alliance Defending Freedom comes to Vermont!
by John Klar
Alliance Defending Freedom is a national nonprofit organization of Christian attorneys who identify important cases to pursue to preserve and protect Americans’ God-given “inalienable” rights. ADF has been a hero for Vermont citizens who suffer under a far-left supermajority progressivism that has insinuated gender, race, and climate ideologies into public schools and government institutions at the expense of traditional speech and other liberties — especially parental rights.
Vermont is a unique state jurisdiction, in which deep-pocketed out-of-state interests can dramatically influence policies against individual liberties. Planned Parenthood has practically overseen Vermont’s Attorney General’s Office for years. The Conservation Law Foundation is currently suing Vermont to compel Vermonters to comply with their own “climate target” laws — unconstitutional! Rabid gun rights and animal activist NGOs target Vermont to implement extremist, unconstitutional provisions through our pliant Legislature, taking advantage of citizens’ lack of wealth to defend their liberties relative to most other states in the union.
When our elected representatives fail to uphold basic Constitutional liberties, Vermonters, more often than not, lack the monetary means to seek judicial recourse. Organizations like Alliance Defending Freedom are powerful allies to Vermonters in fighting to simply preserve our strong liberty traditions, and ADF has already heeded our call in a number of important disputes. (Some of ADF’s current and former legal achievements are chronicled on their website.)
I invite readers from anywhere in the world to investigate ADF’s important work and consider supporting them with a donation, or to contact them if you are aware of a case that might merit their intervention. For those in geographical proximity to the Green Mountain State, I am writing to share an upcoming opportunity to meet and encourage ADF’s attorneys and learn more about how to build alliances that will serve all Vermonters and beyond. Alliances that will truly defend freedom….
I am excited to announce a free event in White River Junction, Vermont for lawyers, state representatives, and liberty activists to meet and learn from the expert team of lawyers from Alliance Defending Freedom! This gathering is directed toward Vermont or other area attorneys willing to learn more about ADF and how it can serve them and their clients here in Vermont. ADF routinely partners with local counsel, and can in some instances provide funds to local attorneys as well as dispatch highly-trained ADF staff to assist in important cases or at pivotal legal junctures. This is a valuable and rare networking opportunity. Iron sharpens iron!
The February 17 gathering is scheduled for 5:30-8:30 PM on Monday, February 17, at the REDCAN restaurant in White River Junction, Vermont. This is not a fundraising effort but a networking and educational forum. Vermont attorneys are invited to attend and meet some of ADF’s counsel. If you are a Vermont (or New Hampshire) attorney or law student, you are the target of this email. If you know an attorney in the area who might take interest in this venue, please forward this email to them.
This is a rare (and first!) opportunity to build relationships that will serve clients, Vermonters, and our lovely Green Mountain State now and in the future. Of course, we must show ADF that we are worthy of the investment of their time and resources by getting the word out and ensuring many Vermont lawyers attend!!
This event is not exclusive to legal counsel. Legislators, activists, or potential plaintiffs are also invited to sign up for attendance on the ADF website. There is no fee, attendees will not be pressured for donations, and this restaurant sounds lovely. I plan to attend (God willing) to learn more about what ADF is undertaking for our rights, and how I can better support and encourage them. ADF is comprised of lawyers who work as a non-profit to connect their abilities with low-income parents, children, and others. What a gift!! Count me in!!

Alliance Defending Freedom and the work that they do is indeed a gift for which we are grateful and happily continue to support. We are very fortunate to have them come to VT to network with us. We so badly need the support of skillful constitutional lawyers protecting our inalienable rights and liberties. Thank you, John, for the heads up.
The whole system is broken !! Are there actually any Vermont Lawyers that are NOT part of ” The System ” ? I mean it has gotten to the point that most people find it easier to go somewhere else that aligns with what their beliefs are. Sure would be nice to have our nice and safe state back !
Its sad to see this great state go so far left , I,ve lived here my whole life an I see it getting worse every year , we are tax out . All our services are run into the ground , dictated by the State House , town controles taken away . People have no say now .
Sorry , How about inviting some of us real Residents , Vermonters !
Yes, Vermont is in dire straights and desperately needs Alliance Defending Freedom, For Faith For Justice! It’s clear that Vermonters are forced to leave their home state because of a Marxist agenda destroying their livelihoods. The state is attacking its very citizens, forcing them to leave, to put it mildly. Vermonters are continually being carpet bombed with evil God-less agendas that have created Bills in the legislature and Ordinances in local villages/towns destroying the Judeo-Christian values which is the framework of our American society. Vermonters have seen first-hand what happens to a society without God, God’s Principles. The Constitution is made for a moral people, it is founded from Judeo-Christian values. I pray that many lawyers, legislatures, representatives, activists, potential plaintiffs attend the ADF meeting to begin the process of defending Vermonters, the Constitution, our American God-given society.
Liberty is from God, not man.
